Jared Keeso, creator and star of Hulu's hit series 'Shoresy,' took his fictional Sudbury Blueberry Bulldogs on a real-life eight-city hockey tour across North America. The Shoresy Classic featured the Bulldogs, a team of former NHL and AHL players, facing off against alumni squads from the Red Wings, Maple Leafs, Bruins, and other NHL franchises. The tour sold 69,900 tickets and raised more than $100,000 for NHL alumni charities.

The Bulldogs' cast, many of whom grew up as hockey fans, experienced unique moments throughout the tour. In Detroit, they skated at Little Caesars Arena where Patrick Kane greeted them by name and gave them a tour of the Red Wings' dressing room. The Toronto stop held special significance for the Ontario-born cast members, with Kris King showing them the NHL's instant replay 'situation room' and Todd Gill shooting an impromptu commercial for his wife's cookie business.

Keeso documented the journey in a tour diary, sharing highlights from each city. From staged fights and shirtless laps to postgame beers with hockey legends, the tour blended fiction with reality in unprecedented ways. The success of the Shoresy Classic demonstrates how Keeso's Canadian cult-favorite series has transcended television to create a genuine hockey phenomenon that resonates with players and fans across multiple sports leagues.
