A B.C. hockey legend and artist will soon open a new gallery in downtown Parksville, appropriately named Gallery 35.

Richard Brodeur (No. 35) has been painting professionally for more than 30 years, known in particular for his nostalgic paintings of backyard hockey rinks reminiscent of childhood memories.

Before he became known as “King Richard” for his goaltending heroics in the Vancouver Canucks’ underdog run to Stanley Cup Final in 1982, Brodeur had already caught the painting “bug.”
