The NHL has contract out to Santa Claus to build his own Santa chair for the upcoming NHL Classic 100 match between the Ottawa Senators and the Montreal Canadians. The chair, made from broken hockey stick collected from various arenas in Ottawa, will be used by Santa (santaottawa.com) to greet hockey fans and friends while they wait for the big match later that evening.
The "Throne of Blades" can be seen in the North Pole kiosk in the Aberdeen pavilion.
Santa Ottawa wishes to thank the Ottawa GeeGee Men's Hockey team and the University of Carleton for their contribution to some of the sticks used.
Many thanks!
