Feature: Sparkplug Cavanagh Chip Off Old Block

Hockey is one of those relative things, as in most people who play the game also have relatives who do, like Sharks forward Tom Cavanagh.

He is one of five hockey-playing Cavanagh brothers, and those five brothers comprise a little more than half of the nine children in the Cavanagh family. Tom is the middle brother and, to date, the only one to make a living at the game.

They are all sons of Joe Cavanagh, a Rhode Island attorney who is considered to have been one of the best hockey players ever to wear the Crimson at Harvard University and a member of the school's athletic Hall of Fame.
