Canadian teams may be out of the Stanley Cup playoffs, but that hasn't kept Ottawa singer-songwriter Kathleen Edwards from creating her own bit of NHL fun.
...
In the video, Edwards straps on hockey skates for a faceoff against Cuddy but finds herself woefully unprepared - she can barely stand on the ice and Cuddy has stacked his team with an all-star roster of former NHL greats.
Things take a turn for the better when Coffey, an NHL hall of famer, shows her how to skate, and enforcer McSorley shows her how to hip-check.
...
Snagging the hockey greats for the video was a matter of connecting through managers and friends of friends, says Edwards, noting that Cuddy is a hockey nut and buddies with Coffey.
It took a few weeks of wrangling, but the 45-year-old McSorley jumped on board despite recently having hip surgery, says Edwards.
