Wendel Clark and other Toronto Maple Leafs alumni will suit up for a good cause on Jan. 7 at the Hershey Centre.

The Mississauga Rotary Clubs are staging a charity Leafs alumni game with proceeds benefiting ErinoakKids, Trillium Health Partners and Heart House Hospice.

“These causes need this money, they really do,” said event organizer David Bull.

“We think this is a good way to raise funds for these charities while having fun.”

Bull came up with the idea for an alumni game back in May and from there, the upcoming event gained full support from Mayor Bonnie Crombie and the rest of city council.

Several partners have also come on board as sponsors. Most notably, Microsoft will be giving away door prizes and Boston Pizza will be giving vouchers for free kids meals.

Bull can’t recall any Rotary club organizing an alumni game and he feels it can be arranged more often.

“Quite frankly, we want to have this on an annual basis in every city in North America that has an NHL team,” he said.

“There’s 34,000 (Rotary) clubs, 1.2 million members like me and we’re always raising funds for good, charitable causes.”

Other Leafs alums like Rick Vaive and Gary Leeman are scheduled to play on Jan. 7 while a team of NHL alumni will be headlined by Mike Krushelnyski, a former Leaf who won three Stanley Cups as a player with the Edmonton Oilers.
