We have big news! Some of the players who will be part of the WDMH Foundation’s first-ever NHL Alumni Hockey Game have been announced.
Chris Neil (Ottawa Senators), Wendel Clark (Toronto), Guy Carbonneau (Montreal), Mike Krushelnyski (Edmonton, LA and Toronto), Todd Gill (Toronto), Laurie Boschman (Ottawa), Gary Leeman (Toronto and Montreal), Tom Fergus (Boston and Toronto) are scheduled to be on the ice with 32 lucky local hockey players.
The event takes place on Saturday, October 14th at the Joel Steele Community Centre and Sam Ault Arena in Winchester. Doors open at 6:30 pm and the game starts at 7:30 pm. Proceeds will support the General Equipment Fund.
To qualify to play with these superstars, there is a $150 registration fee ($250 after September 15th), and players can either give or fundraise a minimum of $750 more (a minimum of $900 is needed to qualify to play). To register as a player and set up your fundraising page, visit: https://bit.ly/wdmhhockey-registration. Then get your friends and family to help support you in playing your dream game!
The more money you raise, the better chance you have to choose your preferred playing position. Players will also have access to a VIP meet and greet after the game. Space is very limited so register and start fundraising soon. Please note that the NHL alumni celebrity roster is subject to change.
And if you just want to come to watch the game and take part in all the fun, we have a website to buy tickets. Tickets to watch the game are $35 each. For $100, you can purchase a VIP ticket that also includes a Meet and Greet with the NHL Alumni players after the game. To purchase regular or VIP tickets, visit: https://bit.ly/wdmhhockey-tickets.
Throughout the evening, there will be a silent auction, raffles, games, and a free photo booth. Graham and Lori Ball will have Triple B Canteen open if you want to purchase dinner or a snack. Local hockey enthusiast Liam Maguire will be our emcee for the evening. Thank you to Jackson Events for their support. Please note that the NHL alumni celebrity roster could change.
