“The Lebovic Club has a terrific and challenging course,” said Dionne, one of the most prolific superstars in hockey history. “B’nai Brith put on a great tournament the past two years and I’m sure the third one on June 11 will again be a classic in the true sense of the word.”

Dionne added: “I’ve really enjoyed meeting all the people from the community who have come out in support of B’nai Brith’s important projects. I’m honoured and grateful to be associated with this tournament.”

Dionne has been a big hit at the B’nai Brith tournaments.
