DENVER - The Denver Cutthroats announced today the team will host a Celebrity Charity Game on February 9 at the Denver Coliseum as part of their "Pink at the Rink" weekend, presented by 9News.

Scheduled to appear in the game are former Colorado Avalanche players Rick Berry, Scott Parker, Joe Sakic, and Stephane Yelle, plus former Denver Grizzlies players Jeff Sirkka and Cutthroats head coach Derek Armstrong. "We are excited to bring this group of retired NHL players to the Coliseum to raise money and entertain our fans," Armstrong said.
