TORONTO, Oct 7 /CNW/ - As both professional and minor hockey seasons get ready to kick-off, the Humber Valley Sharks minor boys hockey team feels as though they've already won.

To launch their 93rd season, the NHL today will be hosting a celebratory event at Yonge - Dundas Square in Toronto. Scotiabank invites fans to come down and dress up in goalie equipment and test their skills in net by making saves against foam pucks. Fans will also have the opportunity to develop their memory skills as they play 'What's in the Tin?' for a chance to win regular season NHL tickets, Gary Roberts' autographed jerseys and more. Gary Roberts will also be on-site signing autographs on a first-come basis, at 6 p.m.
