a_hockeynut Posted July 15, 2009 Share Posted July 15, 2009 I see this event conflicts with the 3rd annual Oshie Sports Celebrity Golf Tournament up in Grand Forks, which is unfortunate since that means some invited attendees will likely not be able to attend both events! For some Faribault MN may be alot closer than Grand Forks ND. Plus, this event has a celebrity hockey game on Thursday night (July 30th), and the celebrity golf is on Friday (July 31st). List of confirmed hockey players so far: Kyle Okposo (former Gopher, current New York Islander) Brady Murray (former Fighting Sioux, current Los Angeles Kings) Jordy Murray (former S-SM, current Wisconsin Badger) Zach Parise (former Fighting Sioux, current New Jersey Devil) Jordan Parise (former Fighting Sioux, current New Jersey Devil) Patrick Eaves (former BC Eagle, current Carolina Hurricane) Ben Eaves (former BC Eagle and Pittsburgh Penguin) Drew Stafford (former Fighting Sioux, current Buffalo Sabre) Casey Borer (former St. Cloud St. Huskie, current Carolina Hurricane) Marty Mjelleli (former St. Cloud St. Huskie) Mario Mjelleli (former Augsburg Auggie) Jamie Langenbrunner (New Jersey Devils) Jordan Leopold (former Gopher, current Florida Panther) Paul Martin (former Gopher, current New Jersey Devil) Jason Blake (former Fighting Sioux, current Toronto Maple Leaf) Seth Helgeson (former Faribault Falcon, current Minnesota Gopher) Here are some specifics: 3rd Annual Celebrity Hockey Game Coming soon, the 3rd Annual Faribault Hockey Association (FHA) Celebrity Hockey Game! Join us Thursday, July 30th, as hosts Zach Parise, NHL AllStar with the New Jersey Devils, Brady Murray, and Marty Mjelleli celebrate hockey with 30+ NHL and NCAA players. Pregame BBQ starts at 5:30, followed by "the game" at 7:30 at the Shattuck-St. Mary's (SSM) Ice Arena. Get player autographs during the BBQ and register for a chance to win the actual autographed game jerseys! Many more prizes and activities await those who attend. "The game", which costs $5 for kids and $10 for adults, is a fundraiser that will benefit the FHA and youth hockey around the area. 8th Annual Celebrity Golf Tournament Join us for the 8th Annual Faribault Hockey Association Celebrity Golf Tournament and Banquet. Join us Friday, July 31th, as hosts Zach Parise, NHL AllStar with the New Jersey Devils, Brady Murray, and Marty Mjelleli celebrate hockey with 30+ NHL and NCAA players. The golf tournament will start with a noon shotgun start. See celebrities on the course, win prizes, and join us for an "Italian Night" banquet following play. There will be raffle items, a silent auction, and a live auction during the banquet. Your $90 registration fee for this scramble includes greens fee, cart rental, pre-golf lunch, delicious dinner, golf prizes, goodie bag, chances at many door prizes, and FHA donation.

This is cool to know about though. I hadn't heard of it before. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
