"ELMONT, NY On the surface, the Shoresy Classic is already a feel-good experience that celebrates the game of hockey on a different level. The touring five-city event features members of the cast of the beloved Hulu show, Shoresy, created by Letterkenny star Jared Keeso, which follows the fictional Sudbury Bulldogs of the Northern Ontario Senior Hockey Organization in their quest to never lose again."
"The hard part was leaving the team, the camaraderie, Ryan told amNewYork. We have that back again. Seven or eight years ago, I was nearly bankrupt. I had a daughter, and I had to collect flyers and shop at the dollar store so to get rescued by a situation like this it meant being back on a team. It meant employment, something simple like that. I hugged my daughter. We bought a little house for $100,000, but I needed it. She needed it. It changed our lives."
The Shoresy Classic is a five-city touring hockey event that features cast members of the Hulu show Shoresy and pits the fictional Sudbury Bulldogs against prominent New York Islanders alumni, with proceeds benefiting local charities. Actors Terry Ryan and Jonathan Diaby view the event as a second chance to reconnect with hockey and regain stability. Ryan was the No. 8 overall pick in the 1995 NHL Draft but injuries limited his NHL career to eight games. He faced near bankruptcy and worked on television sets before securing roles on Letterkenny and Shoresy, portraying Hitch and regaining team camaraderie, employment, and improved family stability.
