The big E just donated the most money ever to charity by a Canadian sports figure. Classy move IMO. 5 Million is a lot of cash.

Check out the link.

I loved Big E, and personally thought he was a great player (he never disappointed me). This was a great thing he did.

My first reaction was: didn't I hear about this donation a long, long time ago? Then I read the article and figured that this appears to be the official ceremony to celebrate the building, which was built, in large part due to the donation.

The actual donation was made about a year ago.

Parade magazine had a thing on the top celebrity givers for 2007, and Lindros' name was like #6 or something. It had the $5 mil gift to the hospital as his cause.

Good for him. It's nice to see someone giving back, and giving to a hospital benefits everyone in that area. Nice to see a hockey player getting some good press as well, although the gift is more important.

My money on the board pledge:

$1 for each goal scored by a player after whom I have named a hamster.

An additional $5 for each hat trick scored by a player after whom I have named a hamster.

An additional $10 if any of the above goals is the GWG goal that gives us the series win.

An additional $50 if it is the GWG that wins us the Cup.

$5 for a SO by Jimmy.

Hamsters' names (current players in RED): Henrik Pavel Tomas Nicklas Dominik

Niklas Matthieu Daniel Robert

Johan Andreas Valtteri Jonathan

Andrew Patrick Ian Todd

And introducing: Jordin Damien Gustav James

TOTAL SO FAR: $36
