Smashfest 2014 – Ping-Pong Tournament With NHL Players & Celebrities (Charity Event)

Yesterday evening, me and my crew attended and covered one of the hottest events of the summer called Smashfest. This was the third year Smashfest had been running and it will continue to get bigger and better every year. Smashfest is an exclusive party that brings together NHL stars and other celebrities for a ping-pong themed night in downtown Toronto, being held at Steam Whistle Brewery’s historic Roundhouse.

Guests who paid for the tickets got to mix and mingle with a number of past and present NHL players. Foods, wine and SteamWhistle beer were provided throughout the night. Some selected lucky guests also got to play in a ping-pong tournament with the NHL players, playing to win the Smashfest Trophy. Defending champion, Minnesota Wild Stephane Veilleux defended his title again against Vancouver Canucks Alex Burrows. Smashfest was hosted and organized by New York Rangers, Dominic Moore who wanted to raise awarenss and funding to support two very important causes: concussion, as well as rare cancer research.

MoVernie Behind-the-Scenes – Covering SmashFest

I had tons of fun at the SmashFest that was held at SteamWhistle last Thursday. It was one of the best events that I had covered for my videos and blogs.

You see, in other events, we maybe limited to 30 minutes of media time and there usually won’t be one-on-one interview time either. But Dominic Moore SmashFest was quite different. It would start off with a media scrum, followed by one-on-one interview time with various NHL players. They are all in a good mood and in charity mood, it made my interviews much more easier.

I had interviewed players such as Dominic Moore (Host), Phil Kessel, David Clarkson, Martin St. Louis, Cody Hodgson, Logan Couture and much much more during SmashFest.

Check out my photos with them below. It was indeed a fun night for a good cause. Special thanks to the organizers, PRs and staff and Dominic Moore for having me to cover this amazing event. See you next year!
