Tomight. The one, the only, former Edmonton Oilers great, Ryan Smyth, will be coming out of retirement to join the senior AAA team, the Stony Plain Eagles.
Tonight the Eagles will be playing Innisfail Eagles at 7:30 at the Glenn Hall Arena in Stony Plain. This morning, the Eagles made it public that he would, in fact, be joining the team and it spread like a wildfire through dry shrub.
Within a few hours, TSN reporters were posting about the news and setting up interviews. By the sounds of it, the arena will be jam- packed. Within the last few hours of observing my twitter feed, a lot of what I saw had information about his return.
