“The Montreal Canadiens Alumni team is composed of some of the most beloved players in Habs history, who will be taking part in this wonderful event to raise funds for Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital Foundation. We haven’t visited Saskatoon since 2017 and we are excited to see all of our fans in the prairies,” said Brian Da Silva, Montreal Canadiens Alumni sports coordinator.

All funds raised will go to support critically needed equipment, world-class research, and high impact programming for babies, moms-to-be, children and families of Saskatchewan.
