{allcanada} Gretzky, Toews experiences part of Jumpstart Charities contest

 

If you've ever wanted to play tabletop hockey with Hockey Hall of Famer Wayne Gretzky or table tennis with Jonathan Toews, you're in luck.

Gretzky and Toews, along with Connor McDavid and Hayley Wickenheiser each is offering a once-in-a-lifetime experience for fans, with all money raised going to charity.

The four legendary Canadian athletes are teaming up with the Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities for the "Great Get in the Game Giveaway," which will raise money to help kids overcome the financial burden involved in playing sports, and give four people the chance for unique experiences with one of the four athletes.

From now until Dec. 4, Canada residents can choose which experience they want and donate as little as $10 at jumpstartgreatgiveaway.ca to be automatically entered for a chance to win.

Gretzky, the NHL all-time leader in goals (894), assists (1,963) and points (2,857) will play tabletop hockey in Los Angeles with one winner. He appears just as competitive at table hockey table as he was at the rink. He also offered some words of wisdom: "Don't go where the French fries are, go to where they are going to be."

Toews, the Chicago Blackhawks captain and three-time Stanley Cup champion, is offering the chance to play table tennis with him in Chicago. And based on his video, he's not going to take it easy on his opponent.

McDavid, the captain of the Edmonton Oilers and NHL scoring champion each of the past two seasons, is known for his speed on the ice but is just as fast on the go-kart track, and one winner will get to race him in Toronto.
