So long, Sliver: Arena manager Sliver McGree to retire after 30 years on the job

Sliver McGree liked playing hockey as a youngster in Hastings. The problem, he said, was that he just wasn’t very good. “They couldn’t cut me because they didn’t have enough players,” he said. “I was what you would call a great skater – but I had no hand skills. I could chase people and keep them away from the goalie.”
