Windsor Spitfire royalty, including Sens head coach D.J. Smith, will assemble this August for a charity hockey game to honour Sens' assistant coach Bob Jones and raise money for ALS research.

With Senators' ownership still in limbo, Senators' head coach D.J. Smith isn't 100% sure yet where he'll be coaching this fall, but he definitely knows where he'll be this August. In honour of Bob Jones, his friend and colleague, Smith will take part in "All in 4 ALS: Jonesy’s Game," a charity hockey game set for August 12th at the WFCU Centre in Windsor.

The game figures to be a Who's Who of Windsor Spitfire greats, including Smith, all gathering in honour of Senators' assistant coach Bob Jones who was recently diagnosed with ALS.

“I want to create awareness for the event against this horrible disease and the need to find a cure for it,” Jones told the Windsor Star. “The medicine is so expensive, so you have to raise money to get a cure and help people afford it.”

Along with Smith, former Spitfires Bob Boughner, Taylor Hall, Adam Henrique, Mikhail Sergachev, Zach Kassian, Cam Fowler and Gabriel Vilardi are among those confirmed to be playing in the game.

Shortly after going public with his diagnosis, Jones was presented with the tanning goggles that Ottawa's players usually present to that night's star.

“It’s been overwhelming to be honest," Jones told the Windsor Star. "We can hopefully raise a lot of money and put it into the Sunnybrook Foundation for research and helping people.”
