from the NHLPA’s site (really): It’s for a good cause, but this is the worst way to go about raising money for charity if you’re an NHL’er…
Some of the biggest names in the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) will try to outwit each other at the poker table – all in the name of charity – in the PartyPoker.net Charity Faceoff. The new seven-part, 60-minute TSN original series premieres December 16 and is available in High Definition.
A made-for-TV Texas Hold ‘Em tournament, PartyPoker.net Charity Faceoff features 16 current and former NHLers with a total purse of $100,000 (Cdn), all going to the players’ charities of choice. Some of the players participating include three-time Vezina winner and New Jersey Devils goalie Martin Brodeur, Toronto Maple Leafs blueliner Bryan McCabe, Sheldon Souray and Craig Rivet of the Montreal Canadiens, and tough guys Sean Avery, Donald Brashear and Georges Laraque
It gets worse:
Hosted by TV and radio sports personality Blake Price, the series features analysis by TSN’s Russ Anber and player interviews by Canadian-born Hollywood actress Elisha Cuthbert.
