Since no sports records book had a category for "Most Wild Times In A Pro Hockey Career," George Pesut had to write one, with himself at the top of the list.

Pesut was a talented defenseman with the NHL California Seals and a more talented partier during two decades on ice in North America and Europe.

He introduces you to an unforgettable cast of real-life characters from his new book, "The Fourth Period: My Life Between The Ice Sheets."

Hall of Famer Roger Neilson coached eight NHL teams.

Only once was he fired and unfired for the same job.  Petulant Maple Leafs owner Harold Ballard axed Neilson after a loss in Montreal.

Under pressure, Ballard relented - but only if Neilson would arrive at the bench for the next Leafs game wearing a paper bag over his head.

Host Steve Paikin leads a panel of Toronto players and executives through the remarkable-but-true details on the next Hockey Time Machine Show.
