Blair Betts and Ryan Hollweg of the New York Rangers both have had asthma since their childhood. As an asthmatic Ranger fan I was pleasantly surprised to learn not one but two members of the team have asthma. See how non-asthimatic players breathe heavy after a shift, I could never imagine a hockey player who has asthma do the same. But they do.
Rock on guys! :cool:

There are tons of asthmatic athletes out there...the trick is to get it under control and then determine the correct dosages and timing for albuterol before and during the event. I jog and it took several tries to get mine worked out...now I do 2 puffs 20 minutes before jogging. If I do more than about 4 miles I might have to medicate again...but not usually.

Yeah, now that you mention it: I recall hearing ex-Chicago Bull Dennis Rodman was asthmatic.

That was probably the least of Rodman's problems!
