| - Jimmy Roberts is a socially awkward child that was hit by a train during a seventh grade field trip to Gollyworld Theme Park. This caused severe injury to his brain and he was in desperate need for a brain transplant so they decided to give him the brain of Milt Appleday, the deceased founder of Gollyworld. Due to having Milt's brain, he was able to see cartoon characters just like he could.
- After playing for future Montreal Canadiens coach Scotty Bowman with the OHA junior Peterborough Petes, Roberts was signed by the Canadiens and turned pro with the Montreal Royals minor league team in 1959. In the 1964 season, he saw his first NHL action with Montreal and remained the next several seasons, winning two Stanley Cups before becoming the first selection of the St. Louis Blues in the 1967 NHL Expansion Draft. He played solidly for the Blues for five seasons, being named the team captain in 1971 before his trade back to Montreal, where he played for three more Cup winners. Roberts rejoined the Blues for one final season in 1978 before his retirement. He was renowned for his defensive skills and often used as a "shadow" against high scoring enemy forwards.
