Once a year, it's tournament time for a group of hockey oldtimers. We're a rag tag group of hockey nuts, some of us have played all of our life ... others not so much. Some of us are young(er) relatively speaking ... others not so much. I think you have to have played this game to really feel it's passion. Once the fire is lit, it burns on inside long after the ability fades, but it never dies.

To get ready, a veteran applies the medicinal preparations, dons the brace, tapes injuries from past campaigns ... why?

for the love of the game ...


(... no they are not my hands)
