QUINCY, Massachusetts (CNN) -- When Warren Lewis played ice hockey for the Boston College Eagles, they won the national title. "You never get in the game unless you intend to win it," he says.

Members of the Quincy Bald Eagles hockey team watch the action on the ice.

At age 80, Lewis' team now is the the Quincy Bald Eagles, a group of senior players who meet three times a week at a local ice arena outside Boston, Massachusetts.

"Kids love to play it," he continues, "and so do old guys, even though it's slow-motion hockey."

Out of the 60 players on the roster, five are in their 80s and 23 are in their 70s. The rest are in their 60s. A few players in their 50s are allowed to fill occasional gaps.

I love this.  Thanks for posting.  Those old guys on skates always look better than the old guys playing baseball.
