Now that I've shown my tricky side, here's another one...
What were the very first two teams to play a game at Wendler arena?

The "Saginaw Stars" against the USA team preparing for the Olympics (1972?). It was Mark Howes first game with the USA team and as a 16 year old he scored 2 goals.

Great work Igive! And a little extra info to boot! Yes it was january of 1972. I got this info from Wren's book "The Bird". If you don't have it, get it, it is great reading and there are some great behind the scene stories of the Gears. www.wrenblairthebird.com/ |
