The Calgary Flames’ first captain is cycling across the country in support of the Boys and Girls Clubs of Canada.

Brad Marsh is peddling 10,000 km from Vancouver to St. John’s, to raise awareness and funds for the organization.

Marsh accepted a $10,000 cheque from the Flames Foundation on a stop in Calgary Thursday, before squaring off in a game of floor hockey with kids at the N.E. Boys and Girls Club.

Marsh’s cross-country trek will take 90 days.
