Connor McDavid knows the value of orthopaedic care: last November, the Edmonton Oilers centre broke his clavicle during a game and had to sit out for the next three months. Back on the ice since February, Connor has scored goals and points for his team, and seems back in good form – thanks, in part, to good orthopaedic care.
A protégé of Sherry Bassin, Connor is thrilled to confirm his attendance on June 13 at the Bad to the Bone Golf Challenge at Wooden Sticks Golf Club. Golfers have a chance to meet Connor, along with other hockey stars.
The tournament is a fundraising event supporting the Canadian Orthopaedic Foundation. Established by Sherry Bassin, hockey legend and former owner of the Erie Otters, the tournament is celebrating its 5th anniversary, and plans are underway to make this the best tournament yet.
Surgeons, industry leaders and friends are invited to attend; for more information visit www.badtothebonegolf.org.

Connor McDavid sait à quel point les soins orthopédiques sont importants : en novembre dernier, le centre des Oilers d'Edmonton s'est fracturé la clavicule en pleine partie, ce qui l'a empêché de jouer pendant trois mois. De retour sur la glace depuis février, McDavid marque à nouveau des buts et permet à son équipe d'inscrire des points au classement; il semble en forme, en partie grâce aux bons soins orthopédiques qu'il a reçus.
Protégé de Sherry Bassin, McDavid est ravi de confirmer sa présence à la classique de golf Bad to the Bone, au club de golf Wooden Sticks, le 13 juin. Les golfeurs auront l'occasion de le rencontrer, de même que d'autres hockeyeurs-vedettes.
Ce tournoi est une activité de collecte de fonds de la Fondation Canadienne d'Orthopédie. Fondé par Sherry Bassin, légende du hockey et ancien propriétaire des Otters d'Érié, le tournoi fête ses cinq ans cette année, et les responsables sont à pied d'œuvre pour en faire une réussite inégalée.
Les orthopédistes, les chefs de file de l'industrie et leurs amis sont invités. Pour de plus amples renseignements, consultez www.badtothebonegolf.org.

The paper draws on dozens of research projects to depict a population of Canadians that is grappling with mental-health issues, substance abuse and communicable diseases at rates far higher than the general population.
