These Rams from the late 60's and early 70's were reunited after about 30 years. Most of them played in the hockey game but some just came to socialize. Brian Jones, (black sweater in the middle of the back row) was the coach. And no, Elvis did not play for the Ryerson Rams.

On January 29, Ryerson Rams alumni from Toronto, Winnipeg,
Buffalo, Orillia, Kincardine, Kingston and Ottawa assembled at St.
Michael’s Arena in Toronto for the second annual Ryerson Rams
Alumni hockey game.
Players on the Blue and the Gold teams spanned three decades
1967 through 1998. The game was tied at 3-3 with just three minutes
remaining when the Gold team scored a power play goal to pull ahead.
this forced the Blue team to open up and try to score, which resulted
in the Golds scoring two more goals in the last two minutes for a 6-3
victory.
After the game, before retiring to a nearby pub to reminisce about
old times, a $300 cheque was presented to Chuck Mathies, assistant
director of Interuniversity Athletics.
According to one of the organizers, Frank Sheffield (Business
Management ‘79), there is so much interest in upcoming Rams hockey games that the next event may be a small round robin tournament.
Other planned Rams get-togethers include a golf tournament on
Saturday, July 8 at Mill Run in Uxbridge. Profits from each event will
benefit Ryerson’s current athletic program.
