FOR IMMEDIATE RELEASE

A Night with Chris “Knuckles” Nilan to Bring Community Together in Support of The Equality Project.
Charlottetown, PEI — Islanders are invited to come together for an unforgettable evening of inspiration, community, and connection at “A Night with Chris ‘Knuckles’ Nilan,” a first-time fundraising dinner in support of The Equality Project, taking place Friday, June 26, 2026, at the Eastlink Centre.

The event will feature a reception from 6:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m., followed by dinner, a silent auction, and a special guest appearance by former NHL enforcer and Montreal Canadiens ambassador Chris Nilan.

Nilan, known for his fearless style of play during a 13-year NHL career with the Montreal Canadiens, Boston Bruins, and New York Rangers, will share stories from his time in professional hockey, as well as insights on resilience, perseverance, and giving back. Today, Nilan serves as an ambassador for both the Montreal Canadiens and the Barry F. Lorenzetti Foundation for Mental Health.

“This event is about more than hockey—it’s about community,” said Michael Remond, Executive Director of The Equality Project Inc. “We are thrilled to welcome Chris Nilan to help us speak about the importance of mental health support and help us to expand our ability to respond with meaningful programs for those in our community who are struggling.”

The Equality Project Inc. is a community-based nonprofit organization providing advocacy, shelter, programming, and direct support initiatives for Islanders facing hardship. Proceeds from the event will support the organization’s ongoing efforts to develop and expand community outreach services.

Organizers expect approximately 350 attendees, making it one of the larger community fundraising dinners of the year. Opportunities are also available for businesses and individuals to support the event through sponsorships and silent auction donations.

They say it takes a community to raise a child. We found something very special in Kings County and Vernon River Consolidated School. Friday afternoon ball hockey for kids, parents, and our local detachment of the RCMP.

The net benefit is community and connection. Thank you to Constable Campbell for being such a good sport, Dave Wood, the Principal, and the Athletic Director, Sarah Adams, for being so agreeable to trying something new.

Been a blast, can't wait until the New Year!
