March 16--Talk about your alumni games. Several senior citizens got a chance to feel like professional hockey players when the Blackhawks staged a mock game at the Centennial Activity Center in Park Ridge.
The game was filmed as part of the Hawks' "What's Your Goal" campaign, and it was as close to an NHL game as you could get in a rec room.
Jim Cornelison sang the national anthem. Pat Foley delivered the play by play. Joel Quenneville dropped the puck and called penalties. Red lamps lit and a horn sounded when players pushed rubber balls into the net.
"You're never too old to pick up the game of hockey," Quenneville says in the video.
