Bill Hunter Formed His First Team At Age 17 And Toured A Baseball Club Through Dust Bowl Saskatchewan Before He'd Even Finished High School. Since Then He's Owned Or Managed More Franchises Than There Are Teams In The Nhl -- From Ladies Softball To Junior Hockey To Pro Hockey To Big-Money Curling. And When He Couldn't Get Into The Leagues He Wanted, He Started His Own.

He's Known The Movers And Shakers, Too, From Conn Smythe To Allan Eagleson To Peter Pocklington. And Along The Way, His On- And Off-Ice Antics Were Grist For Sports Pages For Decades. He Was Called Wild Bill For A Reason.
