The Mon Ument Story*
*POSSIBLY
FICTIONAL
It's a fact that this original artwork was created
by Mark Smollin. From there, the details gets murky.
The artwork depicts Washington's Mon Ument. A towering
presence on skates, teamates joked that he looked 555 feet tall, and was as solidly built as marble and granite.
Despite overcoming great odds to reach the NHL
- no ears, no nose, no mouth - Mon could never find a helmet to fit his obelisk-shaped head.
Largely forgotten after his quick exit from the
league, Ument is still occasionally spotted wandering aimlessly along The Mall.
