Hockey season starts next month, but one Tampa Bay Lightning player has another game on his mind this week. Charley Belcher had the chance to spend time with Vincent Lecavalier as he recovers from knee surgery, gets ready for the upcoming season under a new coach, and prepares to raise some cash for a good cause this Friday at his annual poker tournament.

Lecavalier's foundation, Unite 4 the Fight , donated millions of dollars to create the Vincent Lecavalier Pediatric Cancer and Blood Disorders Center at the brand new All Children's Hospital.
