Vancouver great is back.
A Vancouver Canucks All-Star from 2003 and 2004 is making a hockey comeback.
He's 50 years old, and his skates are back.
Todd Bertuzzi will be suiting up for the Cambridge Hornets in Allan Cup Hockey, according to Daily Faceoff. He's also the head coach of the Cambridge RedHawks.
Bertuzzi played 18 NHL seasons, appearing in 1,159 games.
In his NHL career, he had 314 goals and 456 assists.
Bertuzzi's career spanned time with the Canucks, Islanders, Panthers, Ducks, Flames and Red Wings.
He played 518 of his games with the Canucks, totaling 188 goals and 261 assists in that time, along with his All-Star nods.

According to Daily Faceoff, ACH is a league that predates 1900 and is a senior AAA league.
“I believe it’s like riding a bike,” Bertuzzi said in a press conference recorded by 519 Sports Online. “Obviously there’s going to be a lot of younger guys, faster guys and all that. I respect the league and I respect what they’re doing. I’m not coming back as a carnival. I feel healthy enough to play, and I’d love to come play with them and help them win a championship.”
It's pretty cool that Bertuzzi has decided to give this comeback a shot. Something tells us he's still got some power in that shot.
