The Peterborough Petes Alumni Celebrity Hockey Classic offers hockey fans the chance to play with former NHL greats in a two-game tournament, as well as the opportunity to meet and greet the players during an exclusive VIP Draft Party on Mar. 11. The VIP Draft Party will take place at The Venue and give registered teams a chance to select an NHL alumnus to join their team.

Confirmed alumni for the Classic include Doug Gilmour, Gary Roberts and Brad May. A full list of alumni participating in the event will be released in the coming weeks.

On Mar. 12, the on-ice portion of the classic will begin, with each team guaranteed two games. Teams who register for the tournament will be provided with jerseys and socks. All games will take place at the Peterborough Memorial Centre before the Petes host the rival Oshawa Generals later that night.

To register for the tournament, each team is responsible for a $1,500 registration fee, as well as a fundraising minimum of $500 per player. Fundraising proceeds are in support of Easter Seals.

Interested teams can contact Jenn to register. Full details for the event can be found by visiting the website.
