Silver Nuggets: Moonlighting Edition
Sadly, this post isn't in honour of the classic 80s dramedy starring Bruce Willis and Cybill Shepherd. Happily, it is in honour of Mika Zibanejad, Ottawa's 20-year-old hope for the future and his second career as a DJ. He'll be performing Friday night at the Junxion on George Street in Ottawa and it's for a good cause - proceeds go the Boys & Girls Club of Ottawa!
So in honour of DJ Z-Bad, a look at some other Senators who have moonlighted over the years:
- Alexandre Daigle: health care worker
- Alexei Yashin: patron saint of the NAC
- Craig Anderson: chef
- Chris Phillips: Beer Baron
- Matt Gilroy: NHL player
- Erik Karlsson: spokesperson for the Ottawa Humane Society/
