Canadian yearly ice hockey game
The Juno Cup is a yearly ice hockey game held in conjunction with the Juno Awards , first conducted at the 2004 Juno Awards . The games match National Hockey League alumni with artists and entertainers as a charitable benefit for MusiCounts, a music education charity operated by the CARAS . The Juno Cup has helped raise more than $700,000 for MusiCounts (formerly known as the CARAS Music Education Program) which in turn supported music programs across Canada.
Each game features a team of current or former NHL players (NHL Greats) who competes against a team composed of musicians (The Rockers). The NHL Greats have won each Juno Cup except in 2009 and 2019.[ 1] [ 2]
