Brad Richards and Scott Hartnell in partnership with Caesars Atlantic City today announced “Operation Hat Trick,” a charity hockey game that will take place in Atlantic City, N.J. on Saturday, November 24 at 7pm at Historic Boardwalk Hall. All proceeds from the event will go directly to the Empire State Relief Fund, the New Jersey Hurricane Relief Fund and the American Red Cross, aiding New York and New Jersey families affect by Hurricane Sandy.

“We are all overwhelmed by the damage and destruction caused to our area by Hurricane Sandy and as professional hockey players, we wanted to come together to help those who were victimized by the storm,” said Brad Richards. “While we know the road to recovery is long, we hope a hockey game featuring some of the top players in our sport will help rally additional support for the three great organizations that are committed to helping rebuild our area.”

Soo....can't these players just make up their own teams, DIY style and play at rinks?
Maybe "go on tour" with it? F. the NHL and really F the NHL teams. Call any team X from Anywhere as long as they are the best in the world I'd pay to watch it live.
Richards has really stepped his game up and shown a compassionate, humanitarian side in the relief efforts. Excellent to see.
What I don't like is the Rangers organization not helping out.
Tickets have been purchased. I am so happy I can see some resemblance of hockey for my birthday.
