I thought this was rather interesting regarding the Canadian Mt. Everest 2005 Expedition, which is going to feature a hockey Game to be played on Mount Everest.
On March 25th, an expedition of Canadian climbers and hikers will set off on an assault on the world’s highest mountain, Mount Everest. When they arrive at base camp at 17,575 feet, they intend to challenge other climbers to a game of shinny hockey on the Khumbu glacier, taking Canadian hockey to new heights. A Russian expedition is planning to be at base camp at the same time and it is hoped to create a 2005 Summit Series. In addition to the game of shinny hockey there will be a hockey skills competition.
Today (March 3rd) in Toronto, the expedition is having a formal send off by Ron Ellis. He will be presenting the group with Team Canada jerseys, autographed by himself and Paul Henderson, to be worn during the "summit" hockey game.
Commenting on the game, Ron Ellis said: “The Team of the Century's amazing victory in 1972 will now be honoured 'on top of the world'.â€
