History was made on December 26, 2005: For the first time since 1973, a Brighton Barons hockey team ended up a winner! In fact, everyone won when the First Annual Brighton High School Alumni Ice Hockey Game brought together four decades of players, coaches and their families in a joyous celebration of Brighton High School Ice Hockey. Adoring fans packed the house at ESL Sports Center on the campus of MCC and cheered their favorite former Barons — older, fatter, balder, slower but still recognizable — on to victory. Plans are to make this an annual event. Details: Ken Soble, (585) 955-3877, or Rob Levine, (585) 752-9690.
