Theo Fleury, NHL All-Star, Stanley Cup winner and Olympic gold medalist will join the group of celebrities playing in the Graham Slam celebrity exhibition match.
The Graham Slam is part of the MacKenzie Tour and PGA Tour Canada’s SIGA Dakota Dunes Open.
Graham Slam will be held on Monday, June 20. This will be followed by the SIGA Dakota Dunes Open Pro-Am and four rounds of professional golf from Tuesday, June 21 to Sunday, June 26.
The Graham Slam will see Fleury play alongside PGA Tour golf star Graham DeLaet and two other celebrities in an exclusive “no ropes” exhibition golf match, cocktail reception, and live concert.
This intimate experience, held at the Dakota Dunes Golf Links and the Dakota Dunes Casino, will be limited to only a few hundred people—– giving attendees a rare opportunity to interact with the four celebrities throughout the entire day.
Fleury’s country music band, “The Death Valley Rebels”, will also headline the Graham Slam Live Concert that evening.
“I can’t envision a better way to give back to the Saskatchewan community than being a part of the Graham Slam Exhibition Match,” said Fleury.
“I’m sure the event will be a memorable experience for the players, spectators, and the charity — and I’m excited to play alongside Graham and the other celebrities and show them my golf game!”
Over his NHL career, Fleury played for the Calgary Flames (winning the Stanley Cup with the team in 1989), Colorado Avalanche, New York Rangers, and Chicago Blackhawk. He has played over 1,000 games in the league between 1989 and 2003.
Fleury is also the author of two best-selling books, and the front man for the country music band, “The Death Valley Rebels”, who released their first album in the fall of 2015. The hockey all-star turned country singer is also a huge contributor to the community;
Fleury has been awarded the Canadian Humanitarian Award, The Queen’s Jubilee Medallion, and is an Honorary Chief and recipient of the Aboriginal Indspire Award.
“I was growing up when Theo was drafted by the Calgary Flames in 1987, won a Cup there in his rookie year, and I was hooked,” said DeLaet. “I don’t think it’s any secret that they are my team, and it’s great that Theo will be a part of Graham Slam to represent my passion for hockey and the Flames.”
As the driving force behind the SIGA Dakota Dunes Open and the Graham Slam, the Graham and Ruby DeLaet Foundation will use the overall event week as a platform to raise funds to improve children’s health and wellness across the province of Saskatchewan.
In the coming weeks, the foundation and SportBox Group will be making announcements on the remaining two celebrities that will play in the Graham Slam Celebrity Exhibition Match.
