hf101 Posted December 2, 2012 Share Posted December 2, 2012 Stick tap to Steve Ott and his brothers of the NHLPA for organizing a special event called:"Rock Out The Lockout" at Windsor's WFCU Centre on Saturday December 8th.All proceeds will benefit SPARKLES From Above, a non-profit organization which works with ‘In Honour of the Ones We Love’. Sparkles was originally created after the passing of a young child due to cancer. In addition to seeing some of North America's greatest hockey stars, you will also have the chance to win the shirt off their backs right after the game. Anyone who purchases a ticket has the opportunity to win one of the game worn jerseys by any of the "Rock Out For Lockout" NHL players. Random seat numbers will be selected at the end of the game - and those seats will win the jersey following the end of game whistle.The tournament is spearheaded by Sabres tough guy Steve Ott, Red Wings vet Dan Cleary and Oilers captain Shawn Horcoff.NHLers scheduled to play include:Justin AbdelkaderTodd BertuzziAdam Burish Daniel ClearyMatt Ellis Cory EmmertonVern FiddlerJohan FranzenDarren HelmShawn HorcoffJordan LeopoldMatt MartinJamal MayersBrenden MorrowJames NealSteve OttSergei SamsonovThomas VanekKevin WestgarthJonathan EricssonTom GilbertKronwall, NiklasNick SchultzIan WhiteRyan WilsonJames WisniewskiKeith YandleJonas GustafssonJimmy HowardMichael LeightonDrew Stafford Trevor Daley John Michael LilesMike KomisarekMatthew LombardiKyle WellwoodAdditional players to be announced this week.
