Canada leads the world in Women's Hockey. When our ladies step onto the ice, they really are as good as gold. They have always won. Our gals have never been less than Olympic champions.
Which pretty much also means that they dedicate all their time to the pursuit of the sport and excellence therein, which pretty much also means, like many of our elite athletes, they are chronically short of ready money.
Deerhurst is hosting the Good as Gold open golf tournament this weekend to help with that. Along with Olympic gold-medal winners Hayley Wickenheiser, Vicky Sunohara, Jayna Hefford and the rest of the team, other luminaries are participating include Jason Spezza and Ray Emery of the Ottawa Senators, Mike Bullard and George Stromboulopoulos.
But what's a band of girls without back-up, you ask? Enter the Barenaked Ladies. This is their only Canadian tour site this year, right here... and who does not enjoy this group? (although I'm still waiting for my autographed single of If I had a Million Dollars...)
For non-golfers, you can participate in the Breakfast of Champions, and take in the concert with the Ladies...
All while helping Canada's Women's Hockey team gear up to once more Go for Gold in 2010, right here in Canada.
Keep your stick on the ice, everyone! Game on.
