Back in February it was announced that Simple Plan will be the main musical guest of this year’s 10th anniversary edition of the charitable ice-hockey match Pro-Am Gagné-Bergeron, which will be taking place on August 9th in Centré Videotron in Quebec City, Canada.
But it won’t be just the performance that those who’ve already purchased the tickets to this event can look forward to Simple Plan-wise – one of the members of the band will actually be one of the amateur players who puts on skates and joins one of the competing teams that will otherwise feature a number of players from the NHL. And who else could it be than the only almost-pro hockey player in the band – Chuck Comeau.
In a recent interview for Journal de Quebec, Chuck revealed that he will actually be playing on the team featuring one of his good friends – San Jose Sharks’ defenceman Marc-Édouard Vlasic.
August 9th will surely be quite a busy day for Chuck – since the 40-minute Simple Plan performance starts only a few minutes after the end of the match, Chuck will have to save a lot of energy during the match to keep up with his fellow band-mates. Chuck’s in a very good shape though, so we’ll sure he’ll give both of his performances everything he’s got.
Check out the just released promo video for the match, which also revealed that Simple Plan Foundation is one of the beneficiaries of this charitable event:
