NHL alumni trump Ironmen counterparts 10-8Continued from page 8traded on and off the ice,”Bloemberg said, “I don’t know all the guys out there, but the ones I did play with were high quality calibre guys, so there were a lot of good memories.” While it’s hard to teach an old dog new tricks, he said, one can learn to appreciate what the former NHLers do with puck control, and that they’re always moving their feet, they’re in constant motion. Serving as captain for the NHL Alumni was Rick Vaive. He said it was a lot of fun playing in a small centre like Wingham. “We do a lot of these in small towns like this, most of them not as small as this, but the support you get is incredible,” he said. “And, like tonight, you get a great crowd and all the money is in support of minor hockey.” He said the most of the places they play in the money goes towards the Special Olympics or law enforcement. “In some places we’ve drawn as many as 2,500 to 3,000 people,” he said. “It’s wonderful that we can do this and give back.” He said that he always has fun playing hockey, no matter who they are playing against. “It’s a great game, I still love to play,” he said. “Unfortunately, the next day I’m always a lot sorer than I used to be. Nonetheless, it’s a chance to play with the guys he used to play against or with and they all have a good time,” he said. “We’re in a situation where we play in the best league in the world and we have an opportunity to bring the amount of people into an arena to raise money for something. It’s pretty special in order to do that,”said Vaive.Serving as a coach of the NHL Alumni team was Walter Gretzky who said it was wonderful to be able to play in a small town like Wingham. “I grew up in a little village next to the river with less than 500 people so I know what it’s like, it’s just wonderful,” he said. He said the support in the smaller communities is greater than in the larger centres because one knows the people for whom the funds are being raised.According to Gretzky, it iswonderful travelling with the team because he gets to meet new people all across Ontario and one gets to find out what the sport of hockey really does. “It’s like putting Canada together,” he said. The second period featured a skills competition with the Ironmen Alumni going against the NHL Alumni. The final score of the game was 10-8 for the NHL Alumni. A tough loss A team of NHL Alumni was in Wingham on Saturday at the North Huron Wescast Community Complex to take on an all-star team of former Wingham Ironmen players. The Ironmen alumni were impressed with the skills of the former NHLers, and lost the contest by a score of 10-8.
