22, 2003, the Montreal Canadiens and the Edmonton Oilers held an event
that will be marked in the NHL history for ever.
The held a outdoor hockey game at the Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton with a sell out crowd of 57,167. Preceding that game was the MEGASTARS GAME , which was a reunion of the alumni of both the Montreal Canadiens and the Edmonton Oilers. The Edmonton Oilers alumni team included, Wayne Gretzky, Mark Messier, Kevin Lowe, Grant Fuhr and many other legends. On the Canadiens roster we found legends like, Guy Lafleur, Larry Robinson, Guy Lapointe, Steve Shutt. (Click for rosters of both teams). Unfortunately the Habs couldn't come out of this one victoriously as they lose the game 2-0. Despite the lost it was a great game to watch and fun for the fans and especially the players, and a great event that will put November 22, 2003 in the history books. |
