They would come inside to eat, but they wouldnt take off their skates because they wanted to go back outside and play. I had to put up floodlights so they could play even when it was dark. They did this every day.”
Brain also remembered watching Nick and his older brother, Mike , playing hockey on the frozen harbor near their house, “I remember driving Nick and his brother to the to the harbor. It would be at night. Id give them one puck and tell them I was going to get hot chocolate,” Brain recalled. “ I’d go get the hot chocolate, sit in the car, and watch them play for hours, just the two of them.” This demonstrates the faith the elder Cousins had on his son.
