HCC pulled off yet another enormously successful event on February 8 at the Ricoh Coliseum to kick off the ticket on-sale for the 10th annual Juno Cup celebrity hockey game slated for March 25th. The frigid weather in Toronto wasn’t enough to keep the players or media away.
Stars from both teams -- ‘The Rockers’ and ‘The NHL Greats’ -- hit the ice for drills and exercises in keeping with “training camp.” Not only did the players get to show off their skills, the media were also invited to lace up their skates and join in. (We weren’t liable for any damage to their equipment…!)
MTV’s Paul the Intern did his thing and managed to score a goal assisted by NHL Hall of Famer Paul Coffey.
Besides promoting Juno Cup ticket sales, Training Camp was a great chance for the teams to get a feel for one another. Jim Cuddy, Captain of ‘Team Rockers’, was pretty intimidated by the NHL stars and said it was like trying to outrace a thoroughbred—it just doesn’t happen. He also added “being so outmatched is part of the fun of the game, and after all, ticket proceeds benefit Musicounts.”
