MacBride Museum of Yukon History will kick off its Yukon Hockey History Display starting at 5 p.m. today.

CBC Hockey Night in Canada's iDesk host Jeff Marek will emcee the free show highlighting memorabilia collected from Yukoners past and present.

The celebration of Yukon's hockey history is part of the build up to Scotiabank's Hockey Day in Canada in Whitehorse Feb. 12.

Hockey fans will get the chance to meet Ottawa Senators and Dawson City Nuggets alumni during an autograph session from 11 a.m. to 1 p.m. tomorrow at the museum.

The Senators will play the Nuggets starting at 7 p.m. at Takhini Arena Wednesday and again at the Art and Margie Fry Recreation Centre in Dawson City at 4:30 p.m. on Thursday.

Senators alumni roster includes former NHLers Brad Marsh, who played for Atlanta, Toronto, Detroit and Ottawa; Corey Foster, who was drafted 12th overall by the New Jersey Devils in the 1988 NHL draft; Kevin Kemp, who played for the Maple Leafs and Hartford Whalers; and Doug Smith, who was the second overall draft pick for the Los Angeles Kings.
