If you're a certain age and a hockey fan, certain phrases can only mean one thing — Howie Meeker.

There’s “Jiminy Cricket,” of course, “Golly gee willikers” and “Stop it right there!”

Meeker is a former NHL star, broadcaster and resident of Newfoundland.

He and his wife Leah have come to Newfoundland to visit family — and for a birthday bash. Meeker turns 90 this fall. And apart from what he calls a "conky knee," he's in good health.

"I feel great,” Meeker told CBC News. “I feel lucky to be alive. Very lucky to be here because we love this place."
