I spotted this on a Vancouver radio station's website. Molly Edited to add...Sean's not mentioned in this article but according to the Juno site he is playing as well. Juno Cup charity hockey game pits 'Rockers' vs. NHL alumniMarch 27 at UBC Thunderbird ArenaSonia Aslam / Jeremy Crittenden VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) | Monday, February 23rd, 2009 12:42 pm  Cliff Ronning (L) and Jim Cuddy (R) take faceoff to promote Juno Cup (News1130 Photo) VANCOUVER (NEWS1130) - Former NHL hockey players and some of Canada's most popular musicians will come together March 27th for the 6th Annual Juno Cup at UBC's Thunderbird Arena. It's a celebrity hockey game during JUNO week in Vancouver. The line-up for the big game was announced this morning by Blue Rodeo's Jim Cuddy and former Vancouver Canuck Cliff Ronning. Cuddy, a 12-time JUNO winner, will have an all-star lineup, including Sarah McLachlan, Aaron Pritchett, Tyler Stewart of Barenaked Ladies, and Alan Doyle of Great Big Sea. The roster of former NHL players includes Bob Probert, Russ Courtnall, Paul Coffey and Dave Babych. Cuddy says it's all for fun, and some of the 'Rockers' can play very well, but others....could find it a challenge. "I remember one of the first years we played in Calgary, Jamie Macoun said 'It's very dangerous out there, you have to be careful not to step on anyone'. We have some people who don't know the rules of the game. We're trying to encourage more women, and this year Sarah McLachlan is coming out." The game is for a good cause, raising money for 'MusiCounts', Canada's music education charity. The money will be directed to schools in B.C. over the next year. Previous Juno Cup games have raised more than $700,000 dollars for schools across the country.

Hey Molly!!!! Good to see you! I attended one of those games in 2004 when they were in Cape Breton. Wat a hoot! No matter who is plying, you are bound to be entertained. Anne

 It's too bad they won't televise a 'fun' game of hockey. I really can't watch the NHL stuff. I watched the all-stars game and I like Olympic hockey, where they just play the game. It's a beautiful thing.

So, the Juno Cup was a little disappointing as Alan and Sean didn't play. (Sean was too sick, I think, and Alan couldn't play because he needed to sign a contract for Robinhood) But Alan did coach and he sang 'Oh Canada' gbsiscool5531
There is no need for hate against any group of people.

Actually I am not surprised that Alan didn’t play. I was more shocked that he was going to play. There are clauses in movie contracts that you have to refrain from some physical activities to avoid injury so you do not delay taping etc. Of course this is all speculation on my part.

Ha ha, even if the movie thing could be fun, it seems to be sucking a lot of Juno fun. :)
