Docs, MPPs in hockey fundraiser By Kelly Lown Port Perry Star The Legiskaters and the Mighty Docs will be facing off in what is promising to be an excit- ing hockey match. The charity hockey game will see all proceeds go towards spe- cial equipment campaigns at both Community Memorial Hospital in Port Perry and Cot- tage Hospital in Uxbridge. _ The Legiskaters, established in 1993, consists mostly of MPPs representing all three parties. They will be facing the Mighty Docs, whose stick- handling skills are rumored to be on the cutting edge. The Docs will be made up of players from three hospitals in- cluding Community Memorial Hospital representatives Dave Brown, CEO; Dr. Steve Russell; Jerry Taylor of the hospital board and employees Carl White and Steve Woodman. The game is the brainchild of Durham East MPP Gord Mills and Durham York MPP Larry O'Connor, who will be coaching the Legiskater team. Lance Brown, of CFTO News, will be the honorary captain of The Mighty Docs. The game will take place Wednesday, March 22 at Ux- bridge Arena, beginning at 8p.m. Tickets are $6 in advance or at the door.
