Get your hockey fix tonight; University of Michigan players reunite for two games at Yost
More than 40 former University of Michigan hockey alumni, including several National Hockey League players, will reunite for two games tonight at Yost Ice Arena.
Michigan coach Red Berenson will strap on skates and step out from behind the glass for the 35-and-older game, which starts at 5:30 p.m. The 35-and-younger game, featuring recent stars like Brendan Morrison, Jack Johnson and Eric Nystrom, starts at 6:30 p.m. Both games are free to the public.
“So many guys really focus on coming back,” said Matt Trevor, sports information director for Michigan hockey. “A lot of them are in the NHL, so they don’t get a chance to come back, but they loved the three or four years they were here.”
Because of a convention at the indoor track building, parking will be limited near Yost. Parking will be available, though, at Elbel Field and Crisler Arena. Click here for a complete roster of tonight's players.

I wonder if anyone will give Red a friendly check or two into the boards, just to remind him of his days as a player?
