Former Flyers tough guy Eddie Hospodar hasn't played hockey in 20 years, but this spring he collected his greatest assist. Driving to the Palestra for the St. Joe's-Temple game, his father, John, made a passing remark that one of his regrets in life was not finishing his master's degree at Drexel. John Hospodar, now 85, had worked at Campbell's in Camden and was transferred to Ohio in 1957 just short of completing his degree. Eddie Hospodar had no idea his father even attended Drexel. He called the school to see if Dad could resume his schoolwork and eventually met with George Tsetsekos, dean of Drexel's LeBow College of Business
