Greg Polis wins 1973 All-Star MVP

January 30, 1973 was quite a day for former Penguins left winger Greg Polis. He had just welcomed his son Jason into the world the day before and was now in New York City for the NHL All-Star Game. Hoping simply to get a puck to bring back for his new boy as a souvenir to keep forever, Polis instead returned with a new car after taking home the game's MVP honours.

The article below nicely describes the whirlwind 48 hours in the life of the Pens' first pick in the 1970 draft (7th overall). And this piece from 2013 looks at Polis's post-hockey life in British Columbia.
