HALIFAX, Nova Scotia (AP) — Brad Marchand is stepping away from
the Florida Panthers to help a friend whose daughter died last
week of cancer.
Marchand is serving as a guest coach Wednesday night for the
under-18 March and Mill Co. Hunters in his hometown of Halifax,
Nova Scotia, in place of friend JP MacCallum. Marchand is a
co-owner of the team.
The game is a fundraiser for the family after the loss of
10-year-old Selah Panacci-MacCallum and includes a raffle for an
autographed Marchand jersey.
“Please join us in celebrating an amazing night at the rink made
possible by the ongoing giving nature of a 10 year-old girl that
loved the game with all her (heart),” Marchand posted on
Instagram.
Marchand missed Florida’s game Tuesday night against Anaheim.
Coach Paul Maurice expects Marchand to be available when the
back-to-back defending Stanley Cup champions face Dallas on
Saturday.
