Dave Babych Anglers Challenge





VANCOUVER hockey fans know him and love him. Four years ago, retired Canuck legend and North Shore resident Dave Babych started the Babych and Friends Anglers Challenge and Charity Auction. Raising money for the CHILD Foundation of British Columbia, Babych and his NHL friends gathered at the Brix Restaurant and Wine Bar on July 23 to bid on some great items, enjoy some great food and socialize with some great friends. All of the monies raised goes straight towards the fight against Crohn's disease and colitis. Great shooting gang.
