Darryl Sittler and Paul Coffey to face off in charity hockey game for Osler


Hockey legends Darryl Sittler and Paul Coffey are set to square off at the centre line of the Powerade Centre to benefit William Osler Health System's (Osler) three hospitals.
Area hockey fans won't have to travel far Jan. 29 to see Sittler and Coffey suit up and captain teams made up of other hockey greats, Osler physicians, staff and supporters. NHL alumni, including Marcel Dionne, Mike Krushelnyski, Dan Daoust, Dennis Maruk, Gilbert Dionne and Marty McSorley, along with coaching staff Johnny Bower and Dan Maloney, will fill out the rosters to make for exciting on-ice action.
Event Co-Chairs, Osler's Jamie Slade and Chris Richard, hope to attract more than 1,700 spectators to the event and encourage all local businesses to support their community hospitals by sponsoring it.
“It's that chance to say you witnessed NHL magic in your own town,” said Slade. “The game appeals to people of all ages and is very affordable, at only $15 per ticket. Every family will benefit as proceeds go back to supporting those services we all need most at Osler's Brampton Civic and Etobicoke General hospitals. Funds will also be directed toward the redevelopment of the new Peel Memorial Centre for Integrated Health and Wellness.”
A number of corporate and community sponsors have already stepped forward to be part of the game, including Tricot Promotional, Brampton-Bramalea Kinsmen, Carillion, Shaeffers Consulting Engineers and Greatsmiles Mobile Dental.
