Hockey Night for Osler 2015 in Brampton

Raising money for a good cause is always a great thing! Especially when it involves a few NHL legends!

This past Monday night was Hockey Night for Osler 2015 at Brampton’s Powerade Centre. The event brought out many popular NHL greats in a face off game for health care. I have to say it was awesome to see so many fantastic hockey legends come together for a good cause! Some of the hockey players included Brad May, Bill Derlago, Rick Vaive, Gary Leeman, Gary Roberts and Wendal Clark. It was Team Clark vs Team Roberts! The puck dropped at 7:05 pm, and the final score was 10 – 3 for Team Clark.

A total of $81,000 was raised! The proceeds from the game are going to new equipment at Brampton Civic Hospital, the development of the Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness and Etobicoke General.
Here is an interesting face about one of the players, Rick Vaive, and I. Rick and I played high school hockey together in 1976 for part of a season. He went on to a major hockey career whereas I got cut! Hahaha! ;P
Rick was Captain for the Maple Leafs for a period of time and he scored 50 goals! It was so great to see him again after all these years.
