Baltimore Skipjacks warmup routine from 1980s

In the mid-’80s, nobody in the American League struck fear before the opening faceoff quite like the Baltimore Skipjacks. Their warm-up alone was enough to make visiting teams grip their sticks a little tighter. And once the game began, you were in for a long night—Marty McSorley throwing his weight around, Bennett Wolf and Phil Bourque crashing the corners, “Mean” Dean DeFazio grinding you down, Troy Loney patrolling the ice, and, just to keep things interesting, original Hanson Brother Steve Carlson lurking in the lineup. A trip to the Barn - the old Baltimore Civic Center, circa 1984 - wasn’t just hockey. It was survival.
