The event is named for Mikey Nichols -- who suffered a C-5 fracture during a game for Monroe High School (N.J.) in January 2014. Proceeds from the benefit will go to Nichols' foundation and the Christopher & Dana Reeve Foundation, which is dedicated to advancing quality of life and discovering cures for spinal cord injuries.
Among the former NHL players scheduled to participate in the game are Devils great Ken Daneyko, ex-Rangers Tom Laidlaw, Tie Domi and Brad Richards, and former Islanders goalie Rick DiPietro.
Get tickets right here right now for just $20 bucks. (The New Jersey Devils and the New York Yankees will each be providing ticket vouchers to all attendees valid for complimentary tickets to future games.)
