Team MGH and the Bruins Legends tangle for the third year

In support of this year's MGH United Way Campaign, Team MGH will once again challenge the athletic abilities of the Bruins alumni team — the Black and Gold Legends — for a celebrity hockey game to raise money for the charity.

For the third year, Team MGH, which is made up of MGH and Partners employees who work at the MGH, will play against the Black and Gold Legends — a team of former Boston Bruins hockey players. The all-in-fun, no-check game will be held Jan. 21 at 7:30 pm at Harvard University's Bright Arena.

Last year's Legends players included Johnny Bucyk, Ken Hodge, Don Marcotte and Johnie "Pie" MacKenzie from the 1972 Stanley Cup-winning Bruins team.

Tickets for the event are $20; children age 10 and under are free. Tickets include a reception following the game in the "Wall of Fame" room next to the rink. The event also will feature raffle prizes, food and refreshments. For more information, call Ron Doncaster at (617) 887-3505 or Dulce Cardona at (617) 726-9561.
