“We are so excited that the start of the 2008 RBC Cup has arrived. All of the teams have played hard to get here and RBC wants to celebrate that,” said Mike Haley, RBC's regional vice-president for eastern Ontario. “We have fantastic kick-off events planned for our community, including the free RBC barbecue at FanFest and the RBC Trophy March which will lead into the official opening ceremonies with spirit.”
