We miss you Mike (#10), and we won't ever forget. His brother Dave sits beside the retired jersey.

Tracked down by a friend thirty years after the fact, and Jim joined the Omaha Patriots for a tournament in Las Vegas. We took second in our division.

Bill prepares a shot for the forechecking defender, and he is always surprised when he gets penalized while carrying the puck.

Bill prepares for a faceoff for the "Scarecrows on Fire" team in Roseville, California. In our fourth season... three trips to the finals so far.

Jim is having fun watching the pregame activities. Three trips to the finals and no championship.

Taking it on the road out of Vacaville, the Creighton Brothers helped to pull down a platinum championship in the next town.

Red Army was a dominant force in this particular hockey league, with four Russians, a couple of Canadians, two New Yorkers and some Californians.

Malachi wasn't too keen on skates yet, but he liked to come out on the ice.

Bill (on the left) a forward, and Jim (right) a defenseman played for Team Canada (previously Red Army), in a Northern California adult hockey league.

Team Canada gets their name engraved on the cup for the last time? League expansion and parity handicapping by the league broke up the dynasty.
