The real thorns in the Habs' side were the Leafs' goaltenders.

NHL legends lace up for Barn Burner Charity Hockey Game supporting thousands across Simcoe County
It's hockey for a cause and the community is all in. The name of the spectacle may have changed over the years, but the impact remains the same. The annual hockey fundraiser known as the 'Barn Burner' continues to rally support for local causes, raising funds for dozens of charities and helping thousands across Simcoe County. 'People are incredibly gracious with their dollars; they're incredibly gracious with their time and efforts,' said Barrie Mayor Alex Nuttall, praising the community's ongoing support. This year's Barn Burner features some of the biggest names from the NHL and PWHL. Toronto Maple Leafs captain John Tavares returned once again to lend his support. Among the key beneficiaries this year is the Royal Victoria Regional Health Centre Foundation, with funds directed toward the ongoing improvement of the hospital's Neonatal Intensive Care unit.

(CTV News/ Luke Simard) Since 2022, the Barn Burner has raised over $120,000 for RVH's NIC unit, which plays a tremendous role in supporting the hospital's youngest and most vulnerable patients. 'We have over 2,100 births a year at RVH,' said Gail Hunt, RVH President and CEO. 'There's a percentage of those that need the services of our NIC unit. We probably see over 120 patients a year who require that level of care.' Beyond the rink, the Barn Burner event also supports families in the community. For another consecutive year, local favorite Pie Restaurant teamed up with Tavares to distribute thousands of backpacks to kids just in time for the new school year. 'We want to make sure kids are ready for school, ready to be successful, and have all the tools they need to succeed,' said Mayor Nuttall. 'It's a huge year for Pie Education, and we are proud of that.' Hunt emphasized the broader impact of events like the Barn Burner, which go beyond financial donations. 'I think people underestimate how much events like this can do for the community,' she said. 'This also builds a strong commitment to local charities.' The puck drops at 7 p.m. Wednesday.
