According to their Instagram page, Scotland's Yard is inspired by Scottie, a 3-year-old cancer survivor. Scotland’s Yard supports cancer care at GRH with the goal of building a new pediatric cancer center.
The event included a classic street hockey tournament for all ages playing alongside NHL and professional hockey players that included Bastian, Tanner Pearson, Steven Lorentz, and Mike Hoffman.
