The National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) and NHL player Dominic Moore are proud to announce the fourth annual Smashfest – a fan-inspired event designed to showcase NHL players’ ping-pong skills while raising money and awareness for two important causes: concussions and traumatic brain injury research; and rare cancer research and advocacy. Smashfest will take place on Thursday, July 23 at Steam Whistle Brewery in Toronto.
Tickets for the 2015 event are on sale to the public at www.Smashfest.ca.
“Smashfest is a fun and unique charity event. We bring NHL players and guests together for ping-pong, while raising money for two important causes – concussion and rare cancer research. Anyone interested should buy a ticket and come out to Smashfest later this month, as you never know what hockey players and celebrities might show up,” said Dominic Moore, Smashfest host and New York Rangers forward.
