Between sweeping the Plymouth Whalers and meeting the Kitchener Rangers in the OHL Western Conference final on Thursday, Windsor Spitfires clever forward Taylor Hall was busy working on his art skills.
Hall, slated to be among the top-two selections for the 2010 NHL entry draft in June, teamed up with artist Rob MacDougall to paint a one of a kind print with proceeds going to the Canadian Cancer Society.
MacDougall did a similar painting with Canadian Olympian Mike Richards.
The MacDougall-Hall print will be raffled or auctioned off at one of the games in the series against the Rangers with 100 per cent of the proceeds go to the Daffodil campaign.
