DAVID FRANCEY SCORES
With the Molson Canadian Heritage Classic Hockey Game
Francey's Video 'Skating Rink' to air during Saturday's Game


One of the most anticipated NHL games of the year is set to take place this Saturday, November 22, at Commonwealth Stadium in Edmonton, Alberta. Included in the schedule is the NHL's first ever, regular season, outdoor hockey game between the Edmonton Oilers and Montreal Canadiens. The day's events all-star line up includes Wayne Gretzke, Grant Fuhr, Glenn Anderson, Paul Coffey, Guy Lafleur, Guy Charbonneau, Guy Lapointe, Larry Robinson and…David Francey!

During the CBC National broadcast of this special occasion, Francey's music video 'Skating Rink' is set to air. 'Skating Rink' is also the title track from David's third album, which was released this March on Laker Music and distributed by Festival Distribution.

"My family immigrated to Canada from Ayrshire, Scotland. Ever since my first introduction to hockey in the Sixties, I've loved the game. I would watch "Hockey Night in Canada" with my father and would play ball hockey until the streetlights came on. I am thrilled to be part of such an amazing event." -David Francey

About the video: "The weather was perfect, the rink was alive with skaters of all ages out for a pick-up game of hockey... and our good friend, Tony Girardin, and his buddies filmed the scene and put it together in a delightful "almost" 3 minute video of David's song, 'Skating Rink'. From lacing up skates to flooding the rink after everyone goes home, this video is real (including the laughter and the sound of skates on ice) and the stars are ordinary folks enjoying themselves on a small outdoor rink in Quebec. The Skating Rink video is a tribute to what goes on every winter in many small towns across the colder regions of North America." DF
