The 10th annual Blue & White, Ryerson Rams Hockey Alumni game was played at George Bell Arena in Toronto from 12:00 pm to 1:00 pm Saturday, February 2, 2008, prior to the Rams vs. Queens game at 2:00 pm.
Special thanks goes out to the Ryerson Event Coordinator Liz Devine, the Ryerson Alumni Office's Anjela Wilson, the people who worked the reception, the game officials and Ram's staff, Coach Graham Wise, Head Trainer Harvey Boutilier & Manager Carmen Swallow. All of these people did a great job supporting us!!!
Once again, for the 5th year in a row, Team White defeated Team Blue 11-4 in a royal thrashing.
Although the game started out with Team Blue jumping into a quick lead, Team White soon tied it up and went ahead 2-1. The game remained level at 2-2 until almost the end of the first period when Team White scored a late goal to regain the lead. Team Blue never got another sniff after that as Team White scored 2 unanswered goals in the second period and the lopsided third had Team White outscoring their opponents 6-2.
Noted stars of the game were
Jason Kotack
with 4 goals and
Kirby Tokarski
with a hat trick, both for Team White. With a Crosby-like move, Tokarski scored the goal of the game by beating a defenseman with an outside-in
maneuver and picking the bottom glove-side corner with a quick wrist shot from the high slot. Also to be noted is the two goal,
two assist performance by
Scott Finlayson, a Ram from 1980-1982.
