The Grey Bruce Celebrity Hockey Classic - The Celebrity Hockey Classic Series

Friday, April 24, 2026 – The Plex

Join us on Friday, April 24, 2026, for the Grey Bruce Celebrity Hockey Classic and play alongside former NHL greats. Get ready to lace up and hit the ice alongside former NHL legends in this unforgettable two-day event. The action kicks off with an exclusive Sports Celebrity Draft Gala, where teams bid for their NHL alumni, enjoy a gourmet dinner, and take part in live and silent auctions. Then, the next day, it’s time to hit the ice for the tournament—where you and your teammates will play with and against NHL greats.

The Celebrity Hockey Classic Series is truly a once-in-a-lifetime experience. You don’t need to be a pro—just bring your skates, stick, and love of the game. It’s your chance to share the ice with friends, colleagues, and some of hockey’s most celebrated players—all while raising money to support kids and youth with physical disabilities across Ontario.

Past NHL alumni have included Paul Coffey, Wendel Clark, Dennis Maruk, and many more!
