Action Shots: B.C. Rockies vs. Canucks Alumni

The first time I watched members of the Vancouver Canucks Alumni Hockey Team play, it was in the Gianfranco Giammaria hockey game and I got another chance to catch them in action this weekend.

It was an adventure getting to Queen's Park Arena in New West as I was given the address to Moody Park, but I digress -- just another funny tale to tell around the campfire.

The opposition this day was the B.C. Rockies Hockey Club; did I mention the team is comprised of players who are hearing impaired?

Aiming to raise funds for the 7th Canadian Deaf Ice Hockey Championships that take place this year in Whitby, Ontario, the Rockies took on the likes of Dave Babych, Cliff Ronning, Kirk McLean and Gary Nylund, all for a good cause.

Although the Rockies did end up losing, they put up a good fight and it was a good show overall.

Good game.
