The game will have a similar format to the camp where the club roster is divided into two teams. The final rosters will be released on Friday.

This includes:
- Joe Bowen as play by play announcer
- Two-time gold medalist and professional player Cheryl Pounder with colour commentary
- Toronto Marlies play by play announcer Todd Crocker between the benches

- Special panel guest Jayna Hefford, one of Canada’s most decorated Olympians and Chairperson of the Professional Women’s Hockey Players Association.
The game will begin at 7:00pm and will be broadcast on both Sportsnet and TSN.
