Many former NHL greats and Prime Minister Stephen Harper turned out Thursday night to honour Canadiens captain Jean Beliveau. The Bell Centre was transformed into a giant dining hall filled with tuxedo-clad hockey stars, politicians past and present and many members of the business community to pay tribute to the 75-year-old Beliveau. About C$1 million was expected to be raised for six children's hospitals and charities. "It's hard to have the right words to describe it," Beliveau said before the event. "I've been retired from hockey for 35 or 36 years and I'm always amazed to have so many invitations and having nights like this."
