Fundraiser a reason to cheer for Bruins

The event last fall was highlighted by the $13,000 netted by former Bruins star Bob Sweeney for his signed jersey and four Bruins game tickets in a TD Banknorth Garden loge.

Tickets for the Oct. 24 game, $20 general admission, are available at various points in Kahnawake. Organizers suggest buying in advance at the Sports Complex ticket booth or Goodleaf Auto, both on Route 138.

The Bruins roster or those to attend, subject to change, also includes Rick Middleton, Terry O'Reilly, Six Nations legend Stan Jonathan, Stéphane Quintal, Bob Sweeney, Don Marcotte, Ken Linseman, Bryan Leetch, John Wensink, Normand Léveillé, Bruce Shoebottom, Bruce Crowder, Reggie Lemelin, Rick Smith, Bobby Miller and Matt Ciampini.

They'll be refereed by former retired NHL official Paul Stewart and Châteauguay's Richard Douglas.

The auction will feature more than 100 lots, including sticks, jerseys, pucks and helmets donated and autographed by Bourque, Bruins Hall of Famer Cam Neely, current captain Zdeno Chara, Tim Thomas, Milan Lucic, Michael Ryder, Saku Koivu, Carey Price, Phil Kessel and others. Local businesses have also donated items.

Vendor tables will be set up in the arena for the purchase of select items during the game.
