Added recently were old-time Reds' players Jimmy Bartlett, Ivan Irwin, Wayne Muloin and Dan Poliziani, plus ex-pro brothers Bill and Tim Army, four Bennett brothers - Bill, Curt , Harvey, Jr. and Jim - and the father-son combo of Don and Tom Mellor. The Armys, Bennetts and Mellors all are Rhode Island natives. Because of its largest player turnout ever and resulting fan enthusiasm, the society is extending the deadline for reservations to July 19. Tickets will not be sold at the gate. Headliners scheduled to be on hand include Hockey Hall of Fame members Johnny Bower, Ferny Flaman and Milt Schmidt, plus AHL Hall of Fame inductees Gil Mayer and Willie Marshall. All are former players with the old R. I. Reds. Other great hockey stars of the past committed to attend are Ian Anderson, Stan Baluik, Serge Boudreault, Ross Brooks, Ray Clearwater, Bruce Cline, Buzz Deschamps, Bo Elik, Marty Gateman, Aldo Guidolin, Bob Leduc, Yves Locas, Eddie MacQueen, Don McKenney, Howie Menard, Don "Bones" Raleigh, George Ranieri, Bob Robertson, Ray Ross, Chuck Scherza and Jerry Toppazzini. Widows of Paul Larivee, George McAvoy, Marcel Paille, Zellio Toppazzini and Billy Warwick also plan to attend. Sale of tickets for the event has already reached 230. Cost for admission is $30 for adults and $15 for children ages 6 to 12. Kids under 6 are admitted free. Deadline for reservations is June 30. No tickets will be sold at the gate. Further information can be had by calling the society's office at 401-247-2666.
