Thank goodness for Google. The U.S. male swimmer's name is Bruce Hayes. Won Gold Metal on the 4x200 metres freestyle relay at the 1984 L.A. games. Can still remember him beating Gross in the home stretch.Rockslinger said:

There is some history on him. He was a closet gay and HIV infected during one of the Olympics (was it Athens?) and he cut himself on the board and the paramedic was unaware that the blood was HIV infected.slowandeasy said:
I am sure more players shoot left handed than right handed. This is because more players are actually right handed.C Dick said:
My understanding is the dominant hand should be on the top of the hockey stick which gives better control when stick handling as well as when your one-handing the stick. It also has something to do with balancing after a slap shot is better on your dominant leg.
Most right handers also use their dominant hand to hold the top of the shovel, similar to the hockey sticks

This is true but there are some of us right handed guys who also shoot right. I'm not one for stick handeling in a phone booth but leaning into wrist and slap shots are easier.
I'll bite, who came up with that number???? I always thought that Elvis Stoyko was in the closet, but he is not...Rockslinger said:
My son takes lessons in the canskate program. They have some very good coaches there. But I cannot help but wonder everytime I talk to them if they are gay...
Not sure if 80% is the precise % but apparently it is a high %. Two that quickly come to mind are Toller Cranston and Tracey Wilson's partner (died of AIDs) (and wasn't Bowman also gay?).slowandeasy said:
