‘Skins’ play in 50th anniversary alumni games
The Stayner Siskins alumni are an important part of Clearview Township’s history. This is the 50th year as a hockey club and many hockey players from the area have dreamed about putting on the green and gold uniforms. Even as older adults, players still want to don the jersey and be remembered as a ‘Skin.’ This was evident recently when the organization put out a call out for players to participate in an alumni game. The response was overwhelming!. On Dec. 17, almost 80 players and coaches from 1972-2022, and a crowd of 300-plus spectators came out to cheer on the players. The players all took to the ice wearing the number 50 on retro style jerseys to pay tribute to the club’s glorious history. Many players from the local senior league’s Creemore Coyotes got their start playing with Stayner.
