About this ebook
From their creation in a sports bar in New York City to the fateful day the IRS padlocked the door and seized everything from aspirin to hockey pucks, the Whoopees skated into the hearts of hockey fans everywhere. What was born from the words of a Gus Kahn song, and made popular by Doris Day, became part of hockey folklore. Once Upon a Whoopee is the story of an unforgettable minor-league hockey team. The Macon Whoopees of 1973-1974, blessed with one of the most unique and revered nicknames of all time, made good on their promise to become the "Slippery Rock of Hockey." Johnny Carson mentioned them on The Tonight Show. Even President Richard Nixon had a Whoopees T-shirt. Ed Grisamore a newspaper columnist for The Macon Telegraph, has joined with Bill Buckley, the Whoopees' former business manager, to bring readers the true story of the Whoopees, twenty-five years after that memorable season.
