Celebrity hockey to score for United Way

Members of Team MGH will lace up their skates and take to the ice April 2 to face off against the Black and Gold Legends — a team of former Boston Bruins hockey players — at the fourth annual celebrity hockey game benefiting the hospital's United Way campaign. All proceeds from ticket sales will go directly to benefit a number of United Way programs.

Some legendary players in Bruins history will be playing in this year's game — including John "Pie" MacKenzie, Ken Hodge, Donny Marcotte, and Billy O'Dwyer. Immediately following the game, a reception will be held at the Montvale Plaza located across from the arena.

The game will take place at the Stoneham Arena in Stoneham, Mass. at 4 pm. Tickets are $20, and children age 12 and under are free. Tickets can be purchased at the MGH General Store or by contacting Ron Doncaster at rdoncaster@partners.org or Laura Merino at lmerino@partners.org.
