Episode 15: Chris talks to former Connecticut TV and radio reporter Gerry Brooks about what it was like covering the Whalers in the 1970s and 80s

Gerry Brooks covered Connecticut for 44 years, and had a front-row seat for many of the biggest milestones in Whalers' history. He talks with Chris about what it was like when Howard Baldwin and the team first relocated to Hartford, the success of the early days, and what it was like covering the collapse of the old Civic Center. There's also some great stories about how the community rallied to support the team in the wake of what happened, the deep and abiding bond between the players and fans, as well as the rebound that culminated with playoff appearances in the mid-1980s.
