from Sean Fitzgerald at Canoe,

Since Cherry gives a colourful answer for anything you ask him, we decided to present him with a variety of hot topics about his career and the hockey world. Here are the best bits from our chat with him.

Do you think the Hockey Hall of Fame is ever going to come calling for you?

I will never be in it. If it goes to the people for a vote, I would be in. But I’ve stepped on too many toes, and there are a lot of people that don’t like me. And I understand that. When you step on toes and things like that, you have to accept things the way they are. If you’re going to act the way I act, you have to accept the consequences. It’s the same with the Order of Canada. There are a lot of people there that don’t like me. And you have to realize that. You don’t cry about it, and you don’t whine about it. I’ll never be in the Hockey Hall of Fame, and that doesn’t bother me one bit.
