took a pass from right winger
Konstantinov, went in all
alone on a breakaway, deeked
the Red goalie and slammed
the puck into the back of the
net.
Markowitz also drew an as-
sist on the play. He passed to
Konstantinov to get things
going.
That was an especially ex-
citing moment for Markowitz
because he was one of the
more novice hockey players
among the campers.
Markowitz has been skating
for only five years.
Veteran Wings announcer
Budd Lynch handled those
duties at the game, including
making the Stanley Cup play-
off-style player introductions.
Pavelich's brother, former
NHL official Matt Pavelich,
was one of the linesmen. The
other was current NHL lines-
man Mark Pare. The referee
was Jack O'Halloran of the
American Hockey League.
"I don't think any of the
campers fathomed the kind
of excitement there would be
in the arena that night,"
Markowitz said.
During the four days, the
campers were treated just
like NHL players. They had
their names on their lockers;
their fitness was monitored
by members of the Wings'
medical staff; their uniforms
were laundered each day;
they were treated to food and
beverages in the locker room;
and they even were swamped
by autograph-seeking fans as
they left the arena following
the benefit game.
Campers received a prac-
tice jersey, a Wings game jer-
sey with their names and
numbers on the back, and a
video documentary about
their time at camp.
In addition, they toured
Joe Louis Arena, took part in
a golf outing at Maple Lanes
in Warren, and enjoyed a
post-game banquet.
Best of all, they got a
chance to meet and play with
and against some of their
Wings heroes. For a few days
at least, they were on equal
footing — even if they were
on skates.
"The pros had the attitude
that the camp was for us, that
it was our time to live out our
hockey fantasies, and we re-
ally appreciated it," Tuchk-
laper said.
"I couldn't believe how
nicely we were treated by
everyone," Markowitz said.
The Wings' medical per-
sonnel included athletic ther-
apist John Wharton, Dr. Kent
Blanke and masseur Jim For-
tune, who became a very pop-
ular person by the end of the
camp. Like the two previous
camps, there were a few sore

muscles and some aching
backs, but no serious injuries.
"If you weren't tired and
sore after the camp, then you
didn't put out," Weiss said. "I
can't believe that any of the
campers had played hockey
for 12 hours on four straight
days anytime this decade be-
fore we did that at the camp.
It was kind of like overdosing
on hockey."
"The workouts were in-
tense," Markowitz confirmed.
Why is the age limit for the
camp set at 30 and up?
"Because it's not a compe-
tition or a tryout, and we
think people at least that age
are mature enough to realize
it," said Howard Bleiwas, a
Northville CPA who is vice
president of Detroit Red
Wings Fantasy Camp Inc.
"It's a fun camp. It's not the
time to prove that you can
play in the NHL."
Said Weiss, "What made it
fun is that we (the campers)
could go out there on the ice
and know we probably
