87-year-old goaltender Jim Martin was the oldest player on the ice at the Geriatric Hockey League matchup in Burnaby, B.C.
Cliff Ronning, a former forward for the National Hockey League’s Vancouver Canucks, was the game’s referee. It was inspiring, he said: “To be able to see the passion of these guys at the age of 80, I hope one day I get there and [am] able to put the skates on.”
Wow, that is one of a grandpa!
