Hockey Challenge 2008
Children, celebrities and others participate in the ceremonial puck drop before the 2007 All-Star game.
Thanks to everyone who helped make the 10th annual RMHC Hockey Challenge a huge success!
This event, held March 1 at KeyArena, raised more than $110,000 for Ronald McDonald House Charities. That brings the total amount of money raised since the event's inception to more than $3.6 million.
The truly one-of-a-kind event once again featured celebrities from Hollywood and Seattle, generous sponsors, the Seattle Thunderbirds, Microsoft employees, RMHC volunteers and community members.
Teams from Microsoft played four games of fast, fun competition. Fans got a chance to meet and get autographs from celebrities such as Michael Rosenbaum (Smallville), Paul Guilfoyle (CSI), Jason Thompson (General Hospital), Tom Arnold (Pride, True Lies), Cameron Bancroft (24: Day 4, Hockeyville on CBC) and Brian Basset (Red and Rover and Adam @ Home cartoonist).
The evening was capped by the Seattle Thunderbirds' victory over the Kelowna Rockets and an All-Star game featuring celebrities and NHL alumni.
