1997 Re-enactment
A team from Dawson competed against the Ottawa Senators alumni, in a re-enactment of the 1905 match, this time at the Corel Centre, complete with organ music, spotlights, and other pizzazz. The Dawson team managed a slight improvement in score: 18-0, with 25 shots-on-goal. 45 percent, the Senators' take of receipts, was contributed to the Heart Institute, while the Dawson team donated 25 ounces of gold, or the cash equivalent, to the Yukon Special Olympics, another 45 percent of the receipts. The rest was designated to Yukon Minor Hockey.
The team symbolically recreated the trip to Ottawa, though train service no longer runs between Whitehorse and the Pacific coast.
