About this Episode
Larry Kenneth Robert Walker Jr., was born December 1st, 1966 in Maple Ridge, a suburb of Vancouver, Canada, to Larry Sr., and Mary Walker, both of Scottish decent. Larry Jr. was the youngest of four sons, Barry, Carey and Gary, with all four boys dreaming of playing in the NHL. Early on, Larry wanted to be a pro-goaltender, and made a childhood friend with future Hockey Hall of Famer Cam Neely. Walker honed his skills blocking shots from Neely, and would play hockey and volleyball at Maple Ridge Secondary school, where baseball was not offered. His brother Carey was drafted by the Montreal Canadiens, and Larry was sure he would soon follow in his footsteps.
