Thor Brings Back Vancouver Millionaires

It's impressive enough that Jon Mikl Thor can bend iron bars with his teeth, blow up hot water bottles, produce and star in movies and make metal music, but now he's resurrecting a long gone, but apparently not forgotten, hockey team.

Thor is also the president and founder of the Vancouver Millionaires Sports Ltd. sportswear company, and has asked the Vancouver Giants of the Western Hockey League to don the uniforms of the 1915 Stanley Cup-winning Vancouver Millionaires in a Nov. 21 game against the Kamloops Blazers at Vancouver's Pacific Coliseum. When Thor asks you to do something, you do it.

"This will be one of my greatest moments since I started the company in 1999, to see the Vancouver Millionaires come to life via the Vancouver Giants," says Thor, who notes that the game will mark the first time that a full Millionaires uniform will be worn on the ice in an arena since the 1920s.

The Stanley Cup is being flown out from Toronto for the occasion, and past Cup-winning players Dave Schultz, Gerry Cheevers, Johnny Bower, Steve Shutt and Yvan Cournoyer will also be on hand. The first 5,000 fans through the doors will receive a commemorative poster featuring the Millionaires' team photo and a collage of the five special guests. One hundred random fans will also win the chance to get autographs from all five men.

Sadly, the recently released 30th anniversary edition of Thor's Keep The Dogs Away album won't be among the giveaways. But songs from the record will be played during the game.

Here are a couple of clips featuring Thor's amazing feats:
