Edmonton Oilers alumni facing off against cast of ‘Shoresy’ at Rogers Place

A celebrity faceoff later this month will see former members of the Edmonton Oilers take to the ice against current cast members of a Canadian television hit about a band of scrappy hockey players.

The final roster was revealed Friday for the upcoming Shoresy Classic against Oilers alumni at Rogers Place on Fri. Jan. 23.

The Edmonton Oilers alumni roster features some fan favourites such as Georges Laraque, Fernando Pisani, Aleš Hemský and Raffi Torres.

Actors from the Crave/Hulu series Shoresy that will lace up include series creator and lead actor Jared Keeso (Shoresy), along with Terry Ryan (Hitch), Jonathan Diaby (JoDolo), Andrew Antsanen (Goody) and Ryan McDonell (Michaels).

The Canadian comedy series produced by New Metric Media sees titular character Shoresy and his struggling Senior AAA-level ice hockey team, the Sudbury Bulldogs, of the Northern Ontario Senior Hockey Organization (The NOSHO), on a quest to never lose again and improve game attendance.

The matches this month in Edmonton, Calgary and Vancouver come after games last fall against alumni in Detroit, Toronto, Boston, Long Island/Belmont Park and L.A.
