Summer in the NHL: Lot's of golfing, time spent on the dock, and of course, pingpong.
Every July in Toronto, Dominic Moore brings together a large group of toothless, bearded hockey players and members of the hockey community to play some pong and raise money for charity.
Thursday night was more of the same for Moore's group of paddled players, as NHLers descended on The Six for some fun and laughs while raising some cash to benefit concussion and rare cancer research. Since 2012, Moore's event has raised $500,000.
Here are some of the highlights from Thursday night's action:
