Most Consecutive Hockey Games Played By An Individual: world record set by Calvin Mees
Cal Mees said: "I am a lifetime hockey player, I started playing ice hockey when I was 6 years old in Bismarck, North Dakota. At age 61, I love playing hockey even more now than when I was a kid. As a member of the Dallas Warriors disabled veterans hockey team, I work with the team to create awareness and support for the team and its individual military veteran members.
"My motivation for setting the World Record for the “most consecutive ice hockey games played by an individual” came out of my love for the sport of ice hockey , the countless incredible memories and camaraderie of friends it has created for me, and my desire to create more awareness for my veteran brothers on my Dallas Warriors disabled veterans hockey team.
"Although it was a lot of work to set up and the event was tiring, I had the time of my life achieving this World Record."
On behalf of the WORLD RECORD ACADEMY, this world record attempt was verified and adjudicated on-site by sports specialists and by Mr. Mike Strugill, Attorney at Law and Mr. Wes Daphinot, a licensed attorney in the State of Texas, from The Dauphinot Law Firm, Arlington Texas.
