Demons downed by Oldtimers

THE KITIMAT Ice Demons were
shown how to play hockey Dec. 15
after losing to some of NHL hockey's
former stars.

The annual Oldtimers Hockey
Challenge drew 1,400 fans to the
Tamitik arena for the game — includ-
ing oodles of Terrace spectators who
braved slushy, snowy road conditions
to make the game.

The oldtimers came out on top by
seven goals, showing they still have
what it takes to put the puck be-
tween the posts.

The non-contact game featured
former NHL greats such as Dave

“Tiger” Williams, Former Edmonton
Oiler Glenn Anderson and goaltender
Richard Brodeur.

Zany antics including a laser light
show, a goofy trumpeter and flares
attached to skates kept the specta-
lors enterlained.

During period breaks lucky fans
had a chance to meet ‘some of the
oldtimers and collect autographs.
Former Oiler Glenn Anderson said
the Demons were putting up a good
fight.

“They're the toughest team we've
played against so far,” he said.

Anderson left the oldtimers squad

late last week as he was looking for-
ward to suiling up in an Oiler jersey
to play in the NHL's Heritage Clas-
sic in Edmonton Nov. 22,

The first-ever outdoor hockey
game between retired hockey greats
from Edmonton and the Montreal
Canadians had sold out 60,000 seats
soon after tickets went on sale
months ago. Anderson was pumped
about hitting the ice with teammate
from the Oiler’s glory days in the
late 80s.

“We've got the original group
coming back,” he said. “It’s going to
be a real reunion.”
