And you thought Brett Favre was old: 51-year-old Slava Fetisov, who last skated in an NHL game in 1998 after winning his second straight Stanley Cup with the Detroit Red Wings, returned to the ice Friday for CSKA Moscow. The defenseman is now president of CSKA, his childhood club, and a member of the upper house of Russia's parliament.
Gordie Howe is currently looking for his passport and a pair of skates.

Get Igor Larionov out there! Heck, he's only 49. I believe he played for CSKA himself back in the day, but he is now part owner of a rival club. Too bad.
