CONCORD — In the late 1970s, a boy put on skates for the first time in Conway. Deron Quint grew up to tie the record for the two fastest goals in NHL history and have a professional hockey career spanning over two decades on two continents.
On Sunday, Quint was inducted into the New Hampshire Legends Hockey Hall of Fame at a ceremony at the Grappone Center in Concord.
