The event takes place September 22 at McGill University's Sports Centre. Just like last year, all proceeds from the game will go to DJ Sports Club, a non-profit Montreal charity that offers programs in sports and education. The POP team will play against members of the McGill University Redmen and the Concordia University Stingers.
