For the second year in a row, Davis participated in the charitable fundraising tournament “Hockey for the Homeless”. The team consisted primarily of staff from Cadbury Adams, along with two NHL Alumni – Chris Nilan and Mark Napier. Jeff Davis, Brian Tangney and Steve Davis represented Davis.

Hockey for the Homeless is a volunteer-driven charitable organization dedicated to ending homelessness in Canada through fundraising, education and partnering with solutions-based outreach organizations. The event consists of a single-day hockey tournament (that includes NHL Alumni), a reception dinner and a silent auction.

The first Hockey for the Homeless tournament was held at Maple Leaf Gardens in Toronto 13 years ago and raised $8,500. The NHL Alumni Association came on board as a partner in 1998 and then Calgary and Montreal launched tournaments of their own. Vancouver signed up in 2009, and there are plans to eventually hold tournaments in the remaining two Canadian NHL cities, Edmonton and Ottawa.
