The Hockey Hall of Fame announced today that all four 2013 Player Inductees will play in the Haggar Hockey Hall of Fame Legends Classic during the upcoming 2013 Induction Weekend. Chris Chelios, Geraldine Heaney, Scott Niedermayer and Brendan Shanahan have confirmed that they will join a host of Hall of Fame legends and former NHL stars at the “Mattamy Athletic Centre at the Gardens” on Sunday, November 10, 2013 beginning at 2:00 PM.
The Legends Classic, which was first added to the Induction Weekend 10 years ago, has become a fan favourite for both the general public and visiting alumni. This year the event will bring the 2013 Inductees and Honoured Members from Canada, the United States and Europe back to the historic Maple Leaf Gardens, including Borje Salming’s celebrated return along with Lanny McDonald and Darryl Sittler who will captain “Team McDonald” and “Team Sittler”.
“To have the opportunity to step back on to the ice at Maple Leaf Gardens is a huge thrill,” said Lanny McDonald. “It will be a great honour to play at the old Gardens with past teammates and the class of 2013.”
Prior to the game, the 2013 Inductees will be presented with their Official Honoured Member Blazer as a prelude to the Induction Ceremony scheduled for live broadcast at 7:30 PM on Monday evening. During intermission, over 300 fans in attendance will win a limited edition print signed by the 2013 Inductees via the “Legends Shoot Out” if their complimentary souvenir program matches the number of goals scored. As an additional special bonus, all ticket holders will receive a complimentary Hockey Hall of Fame admission pass valid through December 31, 2013.

2013 Haggar Hockey Hall of Fame Legends Classic tickets for reserved seating can be purchased via Ticketmaster (www.ticketmaster.ca) at $55.00 each (plus applicable service charges).
