THUNDER BAY – Hall of famers Bobby Orr and Grant Fuhr headline this year’s crop of celebrities taking part in Monday’s pro-am event to kick off Staal Foundation Open week.
The duo will be making their third straight appearance at the McKenzie Tour-PGA Tour Canada event, which will also include all four hockey-playing Staal brothers – Eric, Marc, Jordan and Jared.
There will be plenty of other local NHL talent on hand too, a group that includes St. Louis Blues goaltender Carter Hutton, Ottawa Senators forward Tom Pyatt, former NHLer and current Windsor Spitfires coach Trevor Letowski and Norm Maciver , the longtime NHL defenceman who is currently an assistant general manager with the Chicago Blackhawks.
Trevor Kidd, Stewart Gavin, Justin Faulk, Mike Krushelnyski, ex-Leaf Brian Boyle and former on-ice officials Kerry Fraser and Ray Scapinello will also take part in the tournament, which features three local players, a celebrity and a touring pro.
