With six days left until the Homebase Charity Slo-pitch event, the star-studded rosters have been announced.
The event is led by retired NHL player and West 麻豆精选 Warriors Director of Player Development Josh Gorges and current NHL player Blake Comeau, who finalized their teams on Friday afternoon.
Loaded with NHL players past and present, the teams will face each other in the main event next Friday night (June 24) at Elks Stadium.
Here is how the rosters stack up:
Despite the friendly competition, Team Comeau is looking for revenge as Team Gorges won the charity game in 2018 and 2019. The event wasn鈥檛 held for the last two years due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
On top of Friday night鈥檚 game, an autograph session with the players will take place pregame from 5 p.m. to 6 p.m. and a home run derby.
If you鈥檙e interested in attending the event, act fast as it is already more than 80 per cent sold out. To purchase tickets, click here.
All proceeds from the event will go towards the KGH鈥檚 鈥榃e See You鈥� campaign, to support the needs for local mental health initiatives for the public and care advisors.
There will be a 50/50 draw at the game with proceeds going towards the campaign. There is also an online auction with prizes from merchandise, to prize packs, and even a signed Vancouver Canucks Elias Pettersson jersey.
Gates open at 4:30 p.m.
