and Delbarton HS, respectively. 
Now, to be precise, on April 3, the match will be replayed by 38 of the original 42 players in their late 30's and early 40's. They will come from all over the USA, hang up their business suits and ties to don jerseys and skates. And re-enact that 'lost' game.To raise funds for cancer charities, NHL teams' items will be auctioned off, 2ooo tickets are expected to be sold and those 'hockey boys' of yester year will take to the ice. Older, slower, but with the same fervent spirit that imbues every man or woman wanting to play hockey. Families will be put aside for the time being! They have exercised as best as they could to prepare themselves for this historic game in the same Morristown arena where the original game was slated to be played before 'Measles' made an end to THAT. Once they were very good, today they will be less so, BUT I say, GOOD for them.

Winning self respect and pride will have been achieved already.

A couple former Aeros are in the photo slide-show during the song's video.
On a side note, as soon as the season is over, it means being able to go to the Fine Arts Fridays events at the MFAH and/or the Mixers and Elixirs events at the HMNS.
The only way to survive hockey withdrawals, and to forget the bad parts of this years season.
Well, one could attend a few MFAH Fridays, as we did recently....even with Aeros hockey going strong ;-)!I did not recognize the ex Aeros..can you point them out!
