Besides bringing you year by year history, highlights, photos and features on all things Spoknae hockey from the 2000-2001 season to present, including the Chiefs memorable run to the 2008 Memorial Cup championship and Chris Bruton's "incident," (above) with the broken trophy, the next edition of Saturday Nights Were Special will also offer a number of special personality feature stories.

Tom Mableson: Read the story of longtime Spokane hockey broadcaster Tom Mableson (right), seen here with legendary Toronto Maple Leafs play-by-play man Foster Hewitt. The two met during the 1957 Allan Cup played in Toronto between the Spokane Flyers and Whidby Dunlops.

Or Vern Kneeshaw, the goaltender for the1946-47 Los Angeles Ramblerswho came to Spokane to play for the 1947-48 Spartans and never left. Despite retiring from the game following the 1948-49 season, Vern has been a behind-the-scenes force inlocal hockey circles and the Spokane Oldtimers ever since.

Bob Tobiason got involved with the Spokane Braves when his sons played but despite the fact that they are long gone from the program, "Toby" has stayed on giving both huge amounts of his time – and money – to keep this hockey tradition alive in Spokane. The Braves have offered many a local hocky player an opportunity to extend their playing time as well as earning college opportunities and other higher level hockey.

...and that's just scratching the surface of Saturday Nights Were Special 2.
