Cory Wolfe and Cam Fuller from The Star Phoenix is reporting:
Gene Simmons is trading his bass guitar for a goalie stick.
The KISS bassist and reality TV star plans to play puckstopper during an intermission shootout next Friday when the Saskatoon Blades face the Portland Winterhawks at Credit Union Centre.
"He'll be dressing up in goalie gear from head to toe," said Brittany Loraas, the Blades' manager of game-day operations, "and during the second intermission, we'll have three guys take shots at him."Simmons is bringing his reality show, Family Jewels, to Saskatoon where his actress wife, Shannon Tweed, attended Mount Royal Collegiate. The show's producers confirmed Friday they'll be shooting an episode here from November 12-15.
"A lot of it is just going to be a walk down memory lane," said Natalie Gecht, part of the show's production team.
Producers have put out a call for anyone who attended Mount Royal while Tweed was there. Alumni from 1972 to 1975 are encouraged to contact the show. You don't have to have been a close friend of Tweed to take part - if you sat beside her in science, that's good enough, Gecht said. You're asked to send your name and phone number to the following e-mail address: tweedclassmate@gmail.com. Deadline is November 11.
The episode will air on A&E; as part of the show's sixth season, due to start in early spring of 2011.
