World's oldest ice hockey player, 86, skates into record books (VIDEO)

World's oldest ice hockey player, 86, skates into record books (VIDEO)

The Burlington Oldtimers Hockey Club has asked Guinness World Records to name Stewart Cockshutt, a long-standing member of the club, as the oldest hockey player in the world.

The media have recently descended on Burlington's Appleby Ice Centre to cover 86-year-old Cockshutt's appearance in a local adult league game.

The veteran forward took a regular shift but, like most of his teammates and opponents in the match, didn't record a point in a defensive contest that ended 1-1.

Cockshutt, a longtime Burlington resident who now lives in neighboring Rockwood, still plays ice hockey regularly.
