"Old Man and the Rink"


Chris Cheilos is back for one more go around.
The 46 yearold d-man signed one more year with the redwings.

He is closing in on the oldest dude ever to play the game.

Sweet.
Hextall broke his wrist once back in the mid 80s and now I think Hexy's son close to becoming a professional hockey player.

Fun Facts:
I was 3 maybe 4 the first time he played an NHL game
This is CHeilos 25th season in the NHL

Neither Crosby or Alex O were born yet when he started playing in the NHL
he is 28 years older than the youngest player in the NHL.

He is good friends with Dr. Cox

HE is his own resturant Chellis Chilli

Someone was stabbed and killed at his resturant a few years ago
CHeilos was a healthy scratch during all games of the finals last season
.
An intoxicated Cheilos droped the cup and banged it up pretty bad last spring, while handing it to someone at the bar at his resturant.

The other dude dropped it and it slammed on the floor.

He also drunkenly left the cup behind in a cab. (although that might have just been an interenet rumor)
