Get Ready for an Unforgettable Afternoon of Hockey Legends and Heart!

Mark your calendars for Sunday, November 1st, for the annual NHL Alumni Benefit Hockey Game — the must-attend event that brings hockey’s biggest names back to the ice in Belleville while raising vital funds for Special Olympics Belleville Quinte West.

Every year at the CAA Arena, doors open at 1 PM, and the puck drops at 2 PM for an action-packed exhibition that’s equal parts high-energy hockey and feel-good community fun. The NHL Alumni take on the Belleville Law Enforcement All-Stars in a light-hearted, skill-filled showdown that’s perfect for the whole family. Expect big hits, highlight-reel goals, plenty of laughs, on-ice gags, and that unmistakable buzz only live hockey can deliver.

You’ll see NHL legends lace ’em up, including fan favourites like:

• Former Toronto Maple Leafs great and fan favourite Rick Vaive

• Stanley Cup champion Bryan Muir

• Local hero and former Belleville Bulls standout Brent Gretzky

• Power forward Shawn Matthias

• And a rotating cast of other NHL alumni who return year after year to give back

These pros still bring the speed, skill, and showmanship that made them household names — but this time it’s all for a cause that hits close to home. Every ticket sold and every dollar raised go directly to the Law Enforcement Torch Run for Special Olympics Ontario, supporting athletes from Belleville and Quinte West. Your support helps local Special Olympians train, compete, and chase their dreams in sports like swimming, speed skating, and more.

It’s more than just a game — it’s a fun-filled afternoon where the community comes together. Bring the kids, cheer on the alumni, snap photos with the stars, and enjoy the electric atmosphere at the CAA Arena. Whether you’re a die-hard hockey fan or just looking for a great way to spend a Sunday afternoon, this event delivers smiles, excitement, and memories that last all year.

Tickets go fast every year — don’t miss your chance to be part of something special.

Support Special Olympics Belleville Quinte West while watching NHL alumni do what they do best: entertain and inspire.
