A few Montreal Canadiens players will be taking part in the Kevin Raphael Classic on August 9th at the CN Sports Complex in Brossard. It will be the 10th anniversary of the event, which is held every Summer and aims to raise funds for Leucan. The eighth edition in 2023 raised a whopping $55,000 for the organization.
This year, Jakub Dobes, Alex Carrier, and Joshua Roy have already been confirmed as taking part, but the organization mentions that it has some surprises in store, which may mean other Habs players will take part.
