Here is what all the Red Army fans have been waiting for. If you have ever wondered what happened to your favorite player that use to don the old red CCCP jersey's, just sit back and enjoy the article.
Kevin Kyle: No longer a player, but the GM of the most popular team in the Huff-n-Puff Leauge. GM of the year for not picking up any players for 10 years. He is also the greatest screen printer in the upper midwest.
Landis Stoltman: Was part of the original team. Trade to the state of Washington for a box of apples. Now lives in Seattle and works for microsoft. He is working on having Bill gates become an Army supporter and sponsor. At least a few cases of beer would be good.
Chad "Pucks and Sticks" Hanson: One of the Army's greatest Defensmen. Chad retired before his prime, way before. Now Living in Moorhead, training athletes the Army way.
Mike "The Greek Streak" Matiatos: Whereabouts unknown, last know address was somewhere in Alaska. Apparently starred in "Mystery,Alaska" as the Zamboni driver.
Terry Wynne: Greatest goalie the Army ever had. Still has the record for most saves in a game, 79 in Silver Bay, Mn. Now a firefighter in GF. Looks likes he can still take the heat.
Jeff Hegg: Second best Army goaltender. Had the longest tenure of any goalie. (No one can survive with no defense) Lives in Brainerd and works as an electrician. Still has nightmares of the Sunday 7:45 am games.
Pete WWWWWHalen: The original tough guy for the Army. Had a tryout for the LA Kings, but didn't realize that you really need to know how to skate to play hockey.
Paul Markovich: Original coach for the Army. No one could understand him, as he talked in Russian. Still works for the Army as Kevin Kyle's assistant. While living in Oakland, he is in charge of scouting in the west. He just can't find any overweight, slow white guys that can play Army style hockey.
Toby Palmiscno: Goalie that was the only player sent to the minors. Now in Bemidji trying to find himself. It will take a while.
Mark Lykken: Was the leading scorer for the Army in the years of 1986-1988. An main cog of the early Army. Has bettered himself as cop Fargo. trying to make a comeback playing for the Fargo Force.
Rahn Ford: Long time coach of the Army. Working on getting his credentials back to come back as the Army coach.
Terry Paukert: Semi-retired player coach of the Army. Pauks goal is to play a few games after sitting out most of the year, last year. Though doesn't want to have Schumacher as a partner.
This is the list so far. I know I'm missing a few. They will be updated in upcoming weeks of the Red Army News.

I am not sure if Mark lived in G.F. in the late 80s. I believe, if you study the old "film" you would see the handsome Lykken which was playing was Mark's identical, but left hand shooting, twin brother, Tim. Perhaps they both played and no one really knew since the only way one truly could tell them apart had been a hidden mole which has since been removed. (Plus I still have the jersey, which is framed, in my living room..........)
