from the Journal News,
Either of the following probably should preclude Frank Shelton from playing hockey: It’s summer, and he’s 87.
But while the Monday morning pickup games Shelton plays at Sport-O-Rama in Monsey with the FDNY/NYPD Hockey Club of Rockland are on hiatus until after Labor Day, he’s still playing twice a week in a rec league at Montclair State.
“I marvel at him, you know what I mean?” said 74-year-old Gene Downey of Stony Point, who plays with Shelton at Sport-O-Rama. “To get to that age and play, never mind doing anything else. You don’t find many people like that.”
