MIKEY "THE MOSQUITO" SLOANE #11

Left Wing · Hartford Beauties · 1982-1989

Five foot eight. One sixty-five. The most annoying
human being to ever lace up skates.

Mikey Sloane talked from the opening faceoff to the
final horn. He talked during warmups. He talked in
the handshake line. He once chirped a referee so
creatively that the ref started laughing and forgot
to call the penalty.

He drew more penalties than anyone in ACHL history.
Three opposing players were suspended for retaliating
against him in '83-84 alone. He'd slash your ankles,
call your girlfriend ugly, question your skating,
and then smile at you from the penalty box while
his team scored on the power play.

Murdoch called him "my secret weapon." The Courant
called him "Hartford's most hated export." Opposing
coaches tried everything: ignoring him, matching him,
benching their enforcers to avoid the penalties.
Nothing worked. You could not not react to Mikey
Sloane. That was his superpower.

His commercials are exactly what you'd expect.
