Phil Housley – MHM Exclusive Interview (Segment 4/8)

Segment 4 – World Tourney and 1st Round Pick

Segment 4 – World Tourney and 1st Round Pick

 

Phil Housley talks about playing  first for the St. Paul Vulcans with his brother Larry.  It was here where Scotty Bowman told the college scouts, I don’t know why you are here, I am picking him in the first round.  Housley then was given a 2 game tryout with the US National team.  The tryouts went well and he made the team, then found himself getting out of high school to go play  against the Red Army, and the NHL greats at the World Tournament.  After proving to himself that he could play with the best in the world, Phil knew he was ready to play in the NHL and that he did, never playing a game in the minors or in college.
