WELCOME TO APOLLO // JAMIE BENN
With over 850 career NHL points, 1000+ NHL Games , and more than a decade as the Captain of the Dallas Stars, Jamie is one of the true power forwards in the game. And we couldn’t be more pumped to have him on board with Apollo. Yes Hello! JB14!
Good evening Jeff. I hope you have are having a wonderful weekend. Ovie and the Caps should be flooring it relentlessly until Canada Day. Anything less is unacceptable.

events at the ACC/ Scotiabank Vic was always a shining light whether it was Leafs or Team Canada. I remember when we brought him and other security guards out for the 2015 World Junior Team photo and presented it to them. RIP Vic
We are saddened to learn of the passing of Vic Braknis, who ushered the Leafs onto the ice before every period.
An usher at MLSE for 29 years, Vic’s smile and positive attitude will be remembered by all the fans and players who had the pleasure to meet him. He will be missed.
WELCOME TO APOLLO // TYSON BARRIE
With nearly 500 career points, Tyson has been one of the premier offensive defencemen since entering the league. TB led all NHL defencemen in points in 2020 and is just a fantastic human. We are incredibly pumped to have Tyson on the Apollo squad

Carlo. HC can’t use their traditional logo due to IOC guidelines because it is a “commercial” logo similar to USA Hockey that is trademarked and outside IOC guidelines, IOC very strict on advertising as big bucks at Olympics.
