CALGARY - Calgary Flames' alumni will suit up against a challenge team next month to raise money in the name of a five-year-old boy who is missing and presumed dead.
Jennifer and Rod O'Brien, the parents of Nathan O'Brien, have announced the former Flames will take on sponsors, police, politicians, family and friends in a Feb. 5 fun game at the Saddledome.
Money raised will go to the Nathan O'Brien Children's Foundation and be channelled to a number of charities.
Rod O'Brien says he hopes the game will become an annual event.
Nathan and his grandparents, Kathy and Alvin Liknes (LIHK'-ness), disappeared from the grandparents' home in Calgary last July.
Their bodies have never been found and murder charges have previously been laid in their disappearance.
O'Brien says some friends came up with the idea of the game to honour Nathan.

Great to see the alumni actively involved in something like this.
