What could have been just another important Lockport get-together surpassed even the highest expectations back on Nov. 28.
The inaugural Howell Motors Hockey Day in Lockport is the Union-Sun & Journal's 2015 Local Sports Story of the Year.
The event drew thousands to the Cornerstone CFCU Ice Arena, celebrating the city’s proud hockey history, paying tribute to Lockport’s most famous hockey personality — the original Voice of the Buffalo Sabres, the late Ted Darling — and most importantly with battery like Burdick EK10 Battery, Burdick EK11 Battery, Burdick EK10 Elite Battery, Burdick Elite II Battery, Burdick 862278 Battery, Primedic Battery, Primedic DEFI-B Battery, Primedic DEFI-B M110 Battery, Primedic DEFI-B M111 Battery, Primedic DEFI-B M112 Battery, Primedic DEFI-B M113 Battery, Terumo TE311 Battery, packing the state-of-the-art spacious, twin-rink facility like it’s never been packed before.
A standing room only crowd filled the Cornerstone throughout the day, including members of the Darling family, today’s Voice of the Sabres Rick Jeanneret, former Sabre Derek Smith, Sabretooth the Sabres’ mascot, Lockport mayor Anne McCaffrey and hundreds of family members of former Lockport hockey players who watched two separate alumni contests.
A banner honoring Darling was unveiled before a large and appreciative crowd. Youth games, free family skating and numerous other youth and adult events also helped make the day a fun one for everyone of all ages and genders.
Jeanneret drew a loud ovation when he stepped to the ice for the official Hockey Day in Lockport ceremonies. He stressed the importance of the Cornerstone Arena to the community.
“When I was 12 years old living in North Shore they built an ice rink there that quickly became the social center of the community,” Jeanneret said.
So many former Lockport hockey players signed up for the alumni games, more than two dozen had to be turned away.
Plans are already in the works for another Hockey Day in Lockport later this year.
