Boston Bruins (Old timers), Oct. 24th, in Kahnawake

MarijkeD — Sun, 18 Oct 2009 00:08:04 +0000

If you take the time to come over to Kahanwake (just over the Mercier bridge, before Chateauguay), you can spend 20.00 to watch the Boston Bruins Old-timers play against a Kahnawake all-star team.

The teams played last year and the game was enormously popular. This year’s fundraiser is to raise money for Kateri Memorial Hospital Foundation and K103 Radio.

Tickets for the 3 p.m. game, $20 general admission, are available at various points in Kahnawake. But, due to the popularity and limited seating, it would be best to buy in advance at the Sports Complex ticket booth or Goodleaf Auto, both on Route 138.

Get more information about the game in this article and for more information regarding the event itself, contact Brian Goodleaf 514-730-1288 the or by email at scrapiron @paulcomm.ca

“This Discovery Day for the general public is a premiere,” said François Dumontier, promoter of the event. “As far as we know, race fans have rarely been invited, free of charge, to see professional racecar drivers in action during open practice and official qualifying sessions.

The Rolex Series Daytona Prototypes will then take to the track at 11:30 a.m. for their practice session. The afternoon action will begin with qualifying for the 1600
Series. The GTs and prototypes will go for a second round of free practice sessions starting at 1:00 p.m. Official qualifying for the Rolex Daytona Prototypes will start at 5:00 p.m., followed by the GT class sports cars.

There will be a final Grand-Am Rolex Sports Car Series combined class open practice from 6:00 to 7:00 p.m. The organizers also plan to stage an autograph session for which, driver?s names will be unveiled at a later date.

When: Friday, August 28, 2009 from 9 a.m. to 7 p.m.

Where: Circuit Gilles Villeneuve, Parc Jean-Drapeau. Metro will be the only way to access the event, say organizers.
