- I had the same experience when we were early teens. We used to play on the Credit River ...Mike, Dick & Dean Popeil, Kyle Harkins --- All really good players, except me. I couldn't skate very good so I got Stuck in net and Mike used used to use me for Target Practice --- OUCH!

-Truer words were spoken! Of course it would be rough to get a regular shift on that amazing team! I’m sure Mike was thrilled to even get a mention on such a team as the Boston Bruins! Thanks for the boost Don! (Lol)😁
- Mike Forbes accomplished a great deal in the game of Hockey his resume would put him near the top of the game , he never rested on his laurels ...
- He currently resides in Grand Haven, MI and is the Head Coach of the ACHA 2011 National Champion Division II hockey team at Grand Valley State University. Forbes was also named the 2011 ACHA D2 Coach of the Year, as well as being appointed to the Coaching staff of the 2012 ACHA D2 Select Team.
- Glad he got away from Boston and excelled as a coach! Thanks for the info Neil. Always wishing Georgetown boys the best!!
-Mike was a great defenseman who played in front of me as I was also the target. Mike had a heavy, hard shot and after practice and warmups had the bruises to prove it!
- I see Mike and Tommy's Mom often. Tommy and my son Rod played ball together.
-IVern McLaughlin I would have love to have 20.00 dollars for everytime I witnessed Mike pick the far right corner under the bar from his point inside the blue line I've never to this day seen a more accurate shooter he was AUTOMATIC every single time he was Goldly accurate I remember asking Brian Hayward who the best shooter he faced and he said Mike Bossy it must be in the Name I guess I'd have a few hundred $ in the bank they both could thread a needle ...
- a local product, who made it to the NHL and proved himself and went onto to do great things as a Coach and Mentor.
- also has 2 Stanley Cup rings from his time as GM running Muskegeon Lumberjacks for the Pittsburgh Penguins 92/93 season's
- When I was at U of Windsor Mike would get me a couple of tickets when they came to town. And, little known fact, Mike was a great shot putter in high school. A real good guy.
- I taught Mike. Such a great guy!
- Love Mike. Still remember him riding his bike over to my place when our family friend, Tim Horton came to G'town to visit...we've always stayed in touch...great memories. ☺️
