Evanka shared her experience through her Sportsnet Blog. Check her blog and get the full story straight from Evanka.

In her blog she said: “I had the unbelievable fortune of traveling to Kandahar to visit our troops. I was part of a larger group, Team Canada, made up of former NHL’ers, the musical group Glass Tiger and several others that made the journey. I left with nervousness and trepidation and returned one week later with a new appreciation and respect for our military. Not only are they fighting for peace in a war-ravaged country, but also trying to fight Tiger Williams in the rink! That alone is an accomplishment.”
