The Home Hardware Legionnaires Sportmans Dinner is edging closer. I've been told tickets are printed and posters are ready. The first annual dinner is set for fathers day with TSN's sports announcers Gord Miller and Pat Maquire as speakers. Good move by former Legionnaire alumni and Team Canada coach Marc Habscheid on bringing in two quality guys for the first ever fund raiser.
Also there is talk of bringing in The Calgary Flames alumni team for a game against former Legionnaire alumni this fall. Contact has been made with The Calgary Flames and they have said they would be very interested in coming to Swift Current to help raise funds for the AAA midget Legionnaires. With Habscheid taking a big part in his former midget team and Marleau becoming involved, alot of big names may be guests in future Sportmans dinners. Good to see some of these guys giving back to the team where they got their start.
