About this listen

It's Friday morning at the S.G. Nesbitt Memorial Arena in Minden and a group of men, all over 50 are out on the ice, to skate, sweat and swap stories on a sheet of ice. The main reason is obvious – everyone here has a deep love of the game of hockey and a desire to stay active.But it's about a lot more than that. The league gives retirees a chance to connect with each other and share some laughs and an occasional pint of beer. Last year, a group of players over the age of 83, retired from the group that was a staple in their lives.CanoeFM dropped into the Minden arena to learn why this league is so popular here.
