Like himself, Brian Mulroney had a long chat with Wayne Gretzky's father.

“I first met him in 1984 when he became leader of the Conservative Party. A few years later he called me: My wife Mila wants to organize a charity hockey game [pour la fibrose kystique] In Ottawa. I replied: Of course.”

“The competition was fantastic because we raised a lot of money and we raised a lot of awareness, but we were really excited to go to 24 Sussex! I thought it was incredible to go to the biggest house in the country.
