This year's Varsity team opponents include Brad Maxwell (President of the Minnesota NHL Alumni Association) and several other NHL Alumni, current members of the USA Women's National Hockey team, and former USA Women's Olympic team gold medalists.

Additional charities for the 2013-2014 season will be announced as the season progresses.

Various sponsor levels permit CommVault partners to contribute to these events so that all monies raised through Hockey Helping Kids fundraising endeavors and merchandise auctions go directly to the supported charities.
