As part of the University of Windsor's Alumni Weekend, the Lancer men's hockey program is excited to welcome the Red Wings alumni to the Capri Pizzeria Recreation Complex for a game against the Lancers 1997-98 Queen's Cup championship team.
The 1997-98 Lancer men's hockey team is celebrating the 20th anniversary of the program's first ever Queen's Cup Ontario championship and they will be inducted as a team into the University of Windsor alumni sports hall of fame Sunday with the Team Achievement award.
The alumni game is scheduled for Saturday at 4:00pm, and will be followed by an exhibition game between the current Lancer men's team and the University of Guelph Gryphons.
NHL great and former Red Wing Dino Ciccarelli along with local hockey star Eddie Mio highlight the Red Wings alumni roster, and Lancer coach Kevin Hamlin says it will be a fun game.
"Eddie Mio will be there as well so all the guys people in this area know, and we have our own Eric Wellwood who's going to suit up and play for the Red Wings as well."
Hamlin tells AM800 Sports almost everyone from the Queen's Cup club will be involved.
"It's going to be really exciting as we have had a great response from all of the players that played on that team. I think we have 19 plus support staff coming in."
Other notable Red Wings scheduled to appear that day include former Red Wing captain Nick Libett, 14-year NHL veteran John Ogrodnick, as well as Brent Fedyk and Kevin Miller.
Tickets for this special event are $10 for adults and $5 for youth (12 and under).
They can be purchased at Nantais Athletics, Peroni's Hockey World, at the St. Denis Centre or ONLINE.
