Oilers to Host 1984 Stanley Cup Reunion at Rexall Place Fans Oilers to Host 1984 Stanley Cup Reunion at Rexall Place Fans invited to join members of ’84 team for once‐in‐a‐lifetime event Proceeds going to Stollery for Oilers Legacy (Edmonton, AB) August 19, 2014 – The stars have aligned to reunite the entire roster of the 1984 Stanley Cup Champion Edmonton Oilers, one of the greatest teams in the history of the game, on October 10 in Edmonton. During a live video conference today, Oilers legend Wayne Gretzky joined Oilers Entertainment Group Vice‐Chairman Kevin Lowe to announce that the team will host a special celebration to commemorate the 30th anniversary of the historic 1984 Stanley Cup victory. Oilers fans will have the once‐in‐a‐lifetime opportunity to join the entire 1984 Championship team and staff, including Oilers legends Gretzky, Mark Messier, Paul Coffey, Jari Kurri, Grant Fuhr, Glenn Anderson and Glen Sather, as they reunite in Edmonton on October 10 to participate in the 1984 Stanley Cup Reunion event, an evening of storytelling and memory sharing at Rexall Place, in support of the Stollery Children’s Hospital. Tickets for the 1984 Stanley Cup Reunion will go on sale to the public Friday, August 22 at 10:00am at edmontonoilers.com and all Ticketmaster outlets. All seating is reserved and priced at $99 per seat plus applicable fees. All ticket fees generated for the event will in turn be donated to the fundraising cause by Ticketmaster. “Winning the first Stanley Cup in 1984 was a huge moment for everyone on the team. We gave everything we had that year and it took a monumental team effort to dethrone the Islanders,” said Wayne Gretzky. “It is going to be amazing to see everyone again, the first time we’ve all been together since 1984. I can’t wait to be in Edmonton and share stories and many great memories with our fans.” The 1984 Stanley Cup Reunion event at Rexall Place will be a magical evening that will relive the greatest moments from the storied 1983‐84 season. There will be multiple musical acts taking the crowd back to that retrospective time when music, sport and daily life were all woven together. Out of the vault will be never‐before‐seen video and stills that will accompany many of the stories being shared live by various members of the team. Special guests, interactive crowd participation and reliving memories in a multimedia display will round out an unforgettable evening. “The 1984 team was the people’s team, Edmonton’s team, and the whole City played a part in making us champions. It was a historic occasion for the City of Edmonton and the National Hockey League,” said Oilers Entertainment Group Vice‐Chairman Kevin Lowe. “It’s only fitting we invite fans back to where the magic happened to celebrate with an evening of intimate storytelling, entertainment and interaction with the team.” In honour of the ’84 team, who laid the foundation for the dynasty that followed, the Edmonton Oilers will create a legacy in the community. Net proceeds from the 1984 Stanley Cup Reunion will be directed to the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation in support of the Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation, specifically for the creation of a new Pediatric Ambulatory Clinic. Pediatric ambulatory care includes over 120,000 visits annually where children see pediatric specialists on an outpatient basis. “As a centre of excellence, the Stollery Children’s Hospital provides expert care to the sickest kids in Canada and the Foundation is committed to ensuring every child, no matter the distance or the circumstance, receives the best possible care,” said Mike House, President and CEO, Stollery Children’s Hospital Foundation. “We are very proud and fortunate to partner with the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation to create a modern, state‐of‐the‐art pediatric ambulatory clinic space at the Stollery that will serve new generations of Oilers fans for decades to come.” 1983‐84 Edmonton Oilers No. Player Pos Coaches 9 Glenn Anderson RW Glen Sather 7 Paul Coffey D Bruce MacGregor 15 Pat Conacher C John Muckler 6 Rick Chartraw D Ted Green 31 Grant Fuhr G 2 Lee Fogolin D Scouts 21 Randy Gregg D Barry Fraser 99 Wayne Gretzky C Matti Vaisanen 22 Charlie Huddy D Ed Chadwick 12 Dave Hunter LW 16 Pat Hughes RW Trainers 29 Don Jackson D Peter Millar 17 Jari Kurri RW Lyle Kulchisky 20 Dave Lumley RW Barrie Stafford 4 Kevin Lowe D 13 Ken Linseman C PR/Broadcast 19 Willy Lindstrom LW Bill Tuele 28 Larry Melnyk D Rod Philips 35 Andy Moog G 11 Mark Messier C 24 Kevin McClelland C 10 Jaroslav Pouzar LW 27 Dave Semenko LW 25 Raimo Summanen LW 30 Mike Zanier G ‐30‐ For more information, contact: Tim Shipton Edmonton Oilers 780.909.8584 [email protected] .

    Buffalo Sabres Daily Press Clips January 13, 2015 Sabres’ McCormick out of hospital after blood clot treatment By Staff Report Associated Press January 12, 2015 BUFFALO, N.Y. (AP) — Buffalo Sabres forward Cody McCormick has been released from the hospital after being treated for having a blood clot in his leg. Coach Ted Nolan said following practice Monday that McCormick is recuperating at home. Nolan called it a good sign, but cautioned there is no timetable for the player's return. McCormick was hospitalized over the weekend after the clot was discovered. He scored his first goal of the season in a 2-1 loss at Tampa Bay on Friday. The Sabres called up forwards Phil Varone and Zac Dalpe from their AHL affiliate in Rochester. Dalpe has yet to play for the Sabres since signing with the team last summer. Varone is back in Buffalo after playing three games last week. Buffalo hosts Detroit on Tuesday night. Red Wings happy to be part of tribute to Hasek By Mike Harrington Buffalo News January 12, 2015 After all the Vezina and Hart trophies, after No Goal and the killer overtime losses in Games Six and Seven against Pittsburgh that finally ended his Buffalo career in 2001, Dominik Hasek forced a trade to Detroit to pursue his Stanley Cup. It turned out Hasek got two of them, one as the Red Wings’ key man in goal in 2002 and the other as Chris Osgood’s backup in his 2008 swan song to the NHL. So it’s more than appropriate the Wings will be on the other side of the ice tonight when the No.

    Darren Paltrowitz June 25 2018 Hockey Great Kevin Lowe on 40 Years With the NHL And Why He Calls Mexico Home Part-Time Drafted to the NHL's Edmonton Oilers as part of the team's 1979 NHL Entry Draft, Kevin Lowe played 13 full seasons with the Oilers before moving on to the New YorK Rangers. Regarded as one of the three kings of the Oilers 1980s dynasty, alongside Wayne GretzKy and MarK Messier, Lowe won 6 Stanley Cups within his playing career. He also managed to be a seven-time NHL All-Star beyond being the recipient of 1990's King Clancy Memorial Trophy. While a 19-year playing career in the NHL would be enough for most players, Kevin Lowe went on to join the Oilers staff as an assistant coach in 1998. He transitioned into a head coach the following year, and then became the team's general manager in 2000. Still employed by the Oilers, Lowe is currently the Vice Kevin Lowe - NHL All Star, Stanley Cup Winner & Executive Chairman of the Oilers Entertainment Group. Lowe has also been involved with interesting projects over the years outside of hockey. One such project is consulting for Vivo Resorts, an all-suite beachfront resort in Puerto Escondido, Mexico.

  • Postgame Notes & Quotes Los Angeles Kings 7, Colorado
    Postgame Notes & Quotes Los Angeles Kings 7, Colorado Avalanche 1 Thursday, March 22, 2018 Anze Kopitar registered four goals for the first time in his career, matching the Kings record for most goals in a game last reached by Luc Robitaille on Nov. 25, 1993 at Quebec. Kopitar recorded his fourth career hat trick and first since Feb. 12, 2016 at New York Rangers. Nathan MacKinnon extended his point streak to a career-long 14 games, the longest active streak in the NHL and third-longest this season behind Taylor Hall (19) and Patrik Laine (15). It’s the longest point streak by an Avalanche player since Paul Stastny’s 20-game run in 2006-07. Mikko Rantanen extended his point streak to eight games, matching his career-long streak set earlier this year (Dec. 12-29). He also became the fourth Finnish player to register 80 points in a season (Jari Kurri, Teemu Selanne, Olli Jokinen) and the fifth Finnish-born player to reach the mark (Tomas Sandstrom was born in Finland but represented Sweden in international competition). MacKinnon (9g, 12a) and Rantanten (7g, 14a) each have 21 points this month, tied for the league lead in scoring in March. Nikita Zadorov recorded a career high 15 hits, an Avalanche record and the most by any NHL player in a single game since 2005-06. The Avalanche was 1-for-2 on the penalty kill, just the ninth time Colorado has surrendered a power-play goal at home in 2017-18. The Avs are 107-for-116 (92.2%) on the penalty kill on home ice, the top-ranked PK unit in the league.

    1988-89 OPC Set of 270 1988-89 O-Pee-Chee Set of 270 (loose stickers) 4 Key Rookie (RC) Stickers Joe Nieuwendyk, Bret Hull, Bob Probert and Sean Burke. Sticker History This was the second O-Pee-Chee sticker series where the sticker backs were printed on more glossy cardboard stock than the thinner paper backings of the previous 7-8 years. There were 182 physical stickers in this set with 88 of those sharing a number with another sticker. The quality of the cut of the sticker seeemed to improve after they worked out all of the kinks from the 1987 O-Pee-Chee run. For the second year in a row, the traditional sticker package that had to be “ripped” open from their vaccuum package, was replaced by wax type packs that were only previously used to encase hockey cards. The sticker album from this year seemed to be made in abundance, whereas the stickers were a little harder to track down. This was the last year that Wayne Gretzky would appear in an Oilers jersey. O-Pee-Chee distributed these stickers out of London, Ontario in Canada. Sticker Facts The size of each full sticker is 5.4 cm X 7.6 cm (2.13 in X 3 in). There were 48 packages in each wax box which originally retailed for $0.30 CAD per pack. Each package contained 5 stickers. The minimum number of packages needed to make a full set (assuming absolutely no doubles) is 37. The original album ($0.59) cover featured Denis Savard.
