He was a tough guy and it certainly passed on to his children. His oldest son Joe played four years at Boston College on a full scholarship. Boston College, for those who don't know, is a perennial powerhouse in College Hockey and always one of the best teams in the nation. My friend and Steve's second son, Chris Rooney, Played like his father on a scholarship to Providence. The kid was always tough as nails. He made me a tougher kid growing up as well with all the helmet boxing and scrapping we used to do. Like his father, Chris really liked to show his toughness on and off the Ice, always willing to give it a go with anyone. I love the whole family and miss them alot since i moved away.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-28304287.post-23962322694214641702012-03-09T08:17:36.174-08:002012-03-09T08:17:36.174-08:00i remember steve rooney from peewee hockey in cant...i remember steve rooney from peewee hockey in canton. Steve was big and strong and let his desire to show how tough he was get the best of him sometime. He used to start fights and one time he was warned that he would not be able to play if he didn't straighten out. To his credit he began to use his skills better and realized he better follow the rules and work hard. He became a pretty good player in college and made it to the big league by using his toughness to his advantage.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
