Mr. Hockey, Gordie Howe return to the Waterford Proven grounds last night. He was welcome by a standing ovation, and a spaghetti dinner. League officials spoke on behalf of the gratitude Mr. Hockey has given to the Waterford Faithful.
"Gordon Howe, you've had an outstanding career as Detroit Red Wing, Hartford Whaler, and Houston Aeros. A four time Stanley Cup Champion, 6 Hart Trophies, and 6 Art Ross Trophies. Truly a remarkable hockey player of his generation. We're thrilled to have Gordie Howe at the young age of 82 join the Waterford Hockey League. So please, don't hold back your talent. If Montel slashes your shins, please give him a dirty glove to the face."
Mr. Hockey skating with only one good leg, still dominate the game last night. He was a force on the blue-line, not allowing any opponents near the net.
AI and Steve Arena were flustered by Gordie's ability to move the puck, and his explosive outlet passes.
Gordie also sent some elbows in the direction of AI. He then proceeded to hack AI shins, then cross checked AI into the pavement. And when AI was trying to get off of the ground, Gordie gave him a face-wash complement of his sweaty glove.
By the end of the night AI threw in the towel.
"I've had enough" AI proclaimed.
Thursday Night Hockey had concluded for the evening. Don't miss your chance to play this weekend on Sat, and Sun night games at 7pm.
