NHL Alumni Face Off In Yarmouth For Gary J. Surette Memorial Association


NHL legend Ray Bourque and his squad handled the Yarmouth All-Stars 11-5 at Mariners Centre tonight.

It looked like well over 1,000 were in attendance for the Gary J. Surette Memorial Association charity game.

Bourque was joined by Al Iafrate, Chris Nilan, Ron Duguay Gary Leeman and more.

He says it was great to meet many Yarmouth fans.

“A lot of Bruins fans! It’s good, they are great hockey fans and it’s a special time of year with playoffs coming up. It was fantastic to meet everybody. A lot of Canadiens and Leafs fans too.”

Fans had the opportunity to meet the legends, get autographs and take selfies.

Leafs and Capitals legend Al Iafrate was also with the legends.

He was asked before the game if we’d see his all-star slapshot.

“They have a rule where there’s no slapshots, but every once in a while you gotta let one go for old times sake. It’s what a lot of people want to see, so it’s always good to let one fly.”

There was even a second intermission shootout with some familiar faces:

Proceeds of the event will go to the Gilles Boudreau and Friends Cancer Help Fund and the Lodge that Gives in Halifax.

Earlier, Bourque and Duguay visited Yarmouth Central School:
