Most of you know about the looming lockout that has now taken over the 2012-2013 National Hockey League Season. But there will be at least one hockey game filled with talent this year, and that game is called Operation Hat Trick. Philadelphia Flyers’ Scott Hartnell and New York Rangers’ Brad Richards have come together to create an all-star roster of NHL players to play for a charity game that will benefit all of those who were effected by Hurricane Sandy. Hartnell will be captain of Team Philly/New Jersey and Richards will be Captain of Team New York.
