VANCOUVER, B.C. — Move over, Miracle on Ice.
A team of hockey-playing musicians, including Blue Rodeo frontman Jim Cuddy and Juno nominee Kathleen Edwards, knocked off a group of former NHL greats in the annual Juno Cup.
The musicians, dubbed the Rockers, tied the game at 11 with just seconds to play in regulation and then defeated the squad led by Calgary Flame legend Lanny McDonald in the shootout.
It's the first time the Rockers have beaten the NHL greats in the game's history and Cuddy, punning on the band name of teammates Cam Melnyk and Jesse Wainwright, said the final result left him in a "state of shock."
"I don't know how that happened," Cuddy said after the final horn sounded.
"We're certainly not supposed to win."
