Ford rooted for Oilers -- Former United States President Gerald Ford had a great affinity for the Edmonton Oilers according to a fascinating story by Jim Matheson in the Edmonton Journal.


In their playing days, Oilers' coaches Craig MacTavish and Craig Simpson had the opportunity to know the late former U.S. President Gerald Ford.
Ford, who died Tuesday at age 93, was on the board of former Oilers owner Peter Pocklington's Gainers meat packaging plant, and every winter for about 10 years, the Oilers and Pocklington's business associates would play golf with Ford in California.

"The last thing you'd expect as a hockey player was being on a team bus, pulling up to a president's house," said former Oilers winger Charlie Huddy.

"He was a real gentleman and always seemed more interested in your life than what he did. He was a fun person to be around," said coach Craig MacTavish.

"We got to taste a part of life that many people don't," said assistant coach Craig Simpson, who was a player at the time. "We could involve ourselves in his daily life and get to go into his home to see the pictures on the wall with all the dignitaries.

"I always thought it must be a drag for him to have to entertain us, but I had a few candid conversations with the president and Mrs. Ford, and we did talk about our colleges. I was at Michigan State, we talked about the rivalry."
