Washington Capitals defenseman Brian Pothier will be on hand to drop the first puck at the third annual Dave Fay Memorial hockey game at 4:30 p.m. this Saturday, July 25th, at Kettler Capitals Iceplex.
Team alum Granny Grant, Yvon Labre, Gord Lane, Gary Rissling and Blair Stewart, as well as Caps radio broadcaster Steve Kolbe, are tapped to play in the game with players across Maryland and Virginia as they battle for Lord Brown's Boot in the charity hockey competiton.
The game, played annually in memory of Washington Times reporter Dave Fay who died from cancer, is open to the public, and there is no admission fee to watch the game. Money raised at the event is donated to NHL's Hockey Fights Cancer program.
Put Cancer On Ice (PCOI) will hold a silent auction of NHL and Capitals items, including a jersey signed by the entire 2008-09 team, an Alex Ovechkin signed collectible and Mike Gartner tribute signed collectibles.
Sponsored in part by The Front Page restaurant and Sports Page deli, together with annual Put Cancer on Ice sponsor Mirant Mid-Atlantic, the event will include Capitals mascot Slapshot who will guest referee the first period -- along with a duel between celebrity guest goalies, Miss Virginia Tara Wheeler and Kolbe. PCOI is a grass-roots organization comprised of Capitals hockey fans who meet monthly for pick-up hockey games in a Maryland vs Virginia format. Sphere: Related Content
