Hurray for Hockey-wood

Bob Miller, already a member of the Hockey Hall of Fame (2000), the Southern California Sports Broadcasters Hall of Fame (2002), the Wisconsin Hockey Hall of Fame (1992), and the benefactor of having the press box at Staples Center named for him, may be the best-known hockey announcer on the Hollywood Walk of Fame when his star is installed Monday (near the Hollywood Wax Museum on Hollywood Blvd., in an 11:30 a.m. ceremony). For more background on that, check out today's Daily News column. (By the way, any possibility of David Courtney doing the introductions over the loud speakers?)

But he won’t be the only one with a hockey connection.

-- Al Michaels, known more for his network baseball and football career, had the famous “Miracle on Ice� U.S. Olympic broadcast in 1980 for ABC.

--Monty Hall, who got his star for career as a TV game-show host, once called New York Rangers’ games.

--Dick Enberg called games for the former Los Angeles Blades minor-league hockey team.

--Bing Crosby was once a part of the original ownership group of the NHL’s California Golden Seals.

--Next year, local longtime L.A. sportscaster Stu Nahan, a former goalie who did Philadelphia Flyers games, will have a star installed.
So based on his background, if a hockey fight ever broke out on Hollywood Blvd., I'd put my money down on Captain Stu. By the way, where'd you get that jacket?
