And adults attending the game will receive a commemorative t-shirt upon presenting their game ticket at Casino SSM following the game prior to enjoying Frank D'Angelo and the Steelback 2-4 Band play live at the casino.

The always entertaining Frank D'Angelo is also quoted as saying that the former Soo Greyhound Stars "Don't stand a chance" against his team of former NHL, OHL, and college players. "How could they?" boasted D'Angelo. "I'm in net for the NHL squad."
