Slated to share his experiences with teamwork and leadership, retired NHL star Wendel Clark is speaking at an Easter Seals Ontario event at the Caruso Club on March 9.
Although he played for a few teams during his 15-year NHL career, Clark is best known for his time on the Toronto Maple Leafs, which he was with for much of his career.
He was drafted first overall in 1985 and served as the Leafs’ captain.
Clark’s keynote speech is titled, “Team dynamics and what I learned from some of the best leaders in the game.”
The event begins with a VIP book signing from 11:30 a.m. to 12 p.m., which will be followed by a general registration luncheon until 2 p.m.
Tickets are $125 each or $1,000 for a table of eight.
A live auction will also take place to send a kid to camp, during which the lone auction item is a round of golf for two in Muskoka with Clark.
The luncheon is being hosted to support Easter Seals Ontario in the midst of the Easter Seals Month of March.
The month is dedicated “to raising awareness and celebrating the abilities of children and youth with physical disabilities.”
The organization has been working since 1922 “to ensure that all children have access to the mobility and accessibility equipment they need to live their best lives.”
The organization believes in the power of inclusion and of creating a society where children with physical disabilities are valued and respected.
