Do You Want to Play Hockey with Wendel Clark?

I noticed this on Wendel Clark's PR person's twitter today:
Book your day at Clark Gardens ™: http://ht.ly/1VHmN
I was expecting a botanical wonderland with Venus Marty Mcsorley traps and a wood chipper constantly running through Kerry Fraser effigies. A place where you could stop and smell the Doug Gilmour roses and watch Glenn Anderson avoid paying child support: in short a fantasy land.
But the truth is much more exciting: you could play hockey with Wendel Clark. Despite being almost $900 per person I think this package has a lot of value to Down Goes Brown:
This distinctive excursion will provide you and your guests the once in a lifetime opportunity to experience the thrill of playing a game of 3 on 3 with Wendel at his very own personal indoor rink located in his backyard.
Meaning obviously you'd know where Wendel Clark lived. The brochure even shows a survivor sitting by a stove laughing with Wendel. Unlikely!
Personally I'm torn about this excursion. On one hand I'd like to play hockey with Wendel Clark, but on the other hand even though having "Played hockey with Wendel Clark" on my tombstone would be great I think I'd like to live for a while.
What do you guys think, should we do a PPP 3v3 tournament at Wendel's place if he agrees not to kill anyone who shows up?

If I went to that, I’d ask to fight him.
I've always wanted to be a PPP Princess. You see kids, you can be anything you want to be; so long as Jay Leno doesn't also want to be that.
Jesus Christ don’t taunt Wendel in the comments.

Not a taunt, just if given the chance, I’d like to fight him just to say that I did. I wonder what the world will be like in 2052 when I emerge from my coma….

you think if you fought him you’d ever have the chance to say you did?
maybe if you had it carved into your tombstone

I voted yes, but in all honesty, I don’t know if I would. It would be tough to embarrass one of my childhood idols in his own backyard.
well birky
it’s been nice knowing you, I’ll pass on the news to your girlfriend

I can’t skate and have never played hockey and I totally would. It’d be awesome.

And where, pray tell, would you come up with the 20 large needed to get in the door? That’s a lot of industrial kittens to sell. (or $2500 for 3 people)

I can’t skate and have never played hockey, so I don;t know how to respond to this.

Oh man!
OHMANOHMANOHMAN!
I have never regretted being broke as much as I do right now….
See I thought I needed a job for FOOD and RENT! Now that I could play hockey on the same ice surface as Wendel those things are obviously trivial.

What's this?
It says you can bring in a professional photographer!?
Ahem…. I’d like to offer my services!

Kidding aside that’s got to be a sweet gig for whomever has it.

I'm interested
Depending on when this would be. It’s been awhile since I’ve played, and I need new gear.
I’m one of those “bring your own goalie” freaks.

I'm kinda disappointed
I’d always pictured Wendel as the kind of guy who’d be up for a game without any money changing hands. You know, just call him up, say “we got ice at 11:30” and he’d be there. He wouldn’t bring beer but he’d pay the 2 bucks a can just like every one else.
Agree. I don’t like this PR person at all. $20K to play with Wendel? If I was rich I would do it but still…

Maybe he’s in some financial troubles. He might have sunk a lot of money into new playground equipment for Wendel Park and now he’s stuck with it.
I still think if you called him at 9:45 on a Tuesday night with ice at 11:30 he’d be there with 10 bucks for the ice and toonies for the beer. And I’m going to cling to that until proven otherwise. And it will take video evidence at least to convince me that he’s not just a regular guy kind of a god.
