The Ticket Chest

Old Guy Wants To Play

Tuesday, December 16th, 2008 | NHL | No Comments

Claude Lemieux hasn’t played pro hockey in 5 years and despite being 43 he wants back in the game. The sometimes dirty player has played 25 games for the Worcester Sharks the farm team for the San Jose Sharks. “My goal’s to get back in the NHL. In the meantime, this is a lot of fun” Lemieux said. He is showing a lot of heart on his farm team and a comeback at 43 may not be that long of a shot. But the NHL is not that sure yet as they have not made him any kind of offers. Lemieux played in the NHL for 20 years and was a part of four Stanley Cup winning teams. Lemieux is only one of 9 players to have 80 goals in playoff games. From 1982-2003 he had some very impressive stats.
