Mike and I played on the Calgary Canucks '74-'75. We were defence partners and led the team in penalties. Mike was toughest guy I have ever played with, in Junior, College or Senior. He was also one of the most passionate guys I have known. What ever he wanted to do he did and did well. We kept in touch after that year of junior until I moved back to Sask. I often thought of that season and the guys I palyed with. Today I just googled Mike's name and found this news about him. It was a shock. Mike was a good friend and will be missed. Never the quitter he would out work you or physically wear you down until he won. It was an honor and pleasure to have known Mike Haworth.
