COQUITLAM, British Columbia - iSportsWire -- NHL Legend Jeremy Roenick Joined Ryan Haze and the I Only Touch Greatness Podcast this week, where JR thinks Connor Bedard is the real deal, he tells the first goal, 500th goal stories, talks faking his death, and being drafted out of high school.

JR joined the show and talked about draft day, how he was told not to step on a scale pre draft, saying that goal scoring doesn't matter how much you weigh. Drafted right out of high school is un heard of but no for JR.

He tells his first goal story how he got called up to the big show and in his rush to get to the rink he t-boned a car, and showed up late to the game only to find out his jersey had no name bar on it and he ended up scoring his first goal with no name bar on the jersey.
