LA TOURNEE
DES JOUEURS
The Players' Tour, featuring a number of Quebec-born NHLers, begins Thursday in Chateauguay, a suburb of Montreal.
The tour is the idea of Max Talbot and Bruno Gervais of the Philadelphia Flyers and will see all proceeds going to charity.
"We want to bring back that Montreal-Quebec city rivalry, so we'll have a couple guys be the core of each team so this rivalry can be something people really rally around," Gervais told Scott Burnside of ESPN.com. "People want to play in this because it helps you stay sharp and keeps you ready to go."
