Hockey Night in Cornwall



Despite the hockey lockout, OHA students still got a taste of NHL action!

A group of NHL players were in Cornwall Ontario on Monday night for a charity hockey game to benefit the Cornwall Chapter of the Max Keeping Foundation and First Assist, a charity that funds programs to benefit First Nations youth in fly-in communities.

In the photo above is former Montreal Canadiens forward and Ontario Hockey Academy Coach Yves Sarault. He was the assistant coach for the white team in last night's charity game. On the bench sitting in front of him are Ottawa Senator's captain Daniel Alfredsson, Habs Travis Moen, and Sens enforcer Chris Neil.

Also playing the game were Chris Philips, Zach Smith, Guillaume Latendresse, Jesse Winchester, Brian Gionta, Josh Gorges, Derick Brassard, Tyler Kennedy, and many others. It was a full house at the Civic Complex as over 4800 people were in attendance Monday evening including many OHA students!
