Teammates For Kids Foundation

Teammates take toys to kids in Sweden.

In August of 2005, Scott Zebedis from the Foundation along with several NHL players, visited 3 hospitals in Ornskoldvik, Umeaand Skelleftea Sweden. Fun was had by all as the excited childrenwere handed toys donated by Hasbro. The Foundation also presented a check to each hospital on behalf of the "Top Shelf Teammates" involved including Vancouver's Markus Nasland & Philadelphia's Peter Forsberg.
