BEDFORD — Hockey royalty was out in full force for the Manchester Monarchs’ 11th annual Ace Bailey Golf Classic at Manchester Country Club Monday.

Boston Bruins legends Ray Bourque and Don Marcotte joined former Monarchs Derek Bekar (University of New Hampshire), Brendan Buckley, Sam Ftorek, Jeff Giuliano (a Nashua native), Eric Healey, Doug Nolan and Richard Seeley for the event, put on by the Monarchs Care Foundation to benefit The Mom’s Place at Catholic Medical Center and the Ace Bailey Children’s Foundation.

The tournament is named in memory of Garnet “Ace” Bailey, the Los Angeles Kings’ director of pro scouting. Bailey was a passenger on Flight 175 and was killed in the terrorist attacks of Sept. 11, 2001. The annual golf event, which features many auction items of hockey memorabilia, has raised more than $320,000 over the past 10 years.

“This tournament just means so much to my family and myself,” said Bailey’s wife Katherine. “We really look forward to it and it’s a day that we’re all able to be together and remember Ace and that’s a good thing. The Manchester Monarchs couldn’t be more accommodating and more generous. We thank them so much for remembering Ace every year.”

According to Bourque, the turnout and contributions from players and teams in the AHL and NHL shows just how giving and supportive the hockey community is.

“I don’t think they come any better. We all support each other, ex-hockey players and even current guys,” Bourque said. “Guys come out, they make a difference and the hockey community is real people that get it and are fun to be around. It’s something I love to support. I knew Ace and it’s a great event with great people at a fantastic course.”

The tournament, which was won by the Poultry Products of New England team of Julian Stogniew, Blake Love, Alan Dunn, Richard Kennedy and Ftorek, gives former Monarchs such as Giuliano a chance to reconnect.

“It’s for a great cause and it’s a nice country club and it’s nice to come back and see everybody,” Giuliano said. “You run into everyone here so it’s always a good event to get everyone together. It’s always been a good turnout every year.”

With the day on the course behind them, thoughts were turning to Game 6 of the Stanley Cup Final between New Jersey and the Monarchs’ parent club, the Los Angeles Kings. Monarchs head coach Mark Morris and assistant Scott Pellerin were in L.A. hoping to see the Cup skated by the Kings Monday night.

With 14 former Manchester Monarchs on the L.A. roster, the contributions from Manchester are not lost on the Kings. It also makes watching the tight games tough for many in Monarchs Country.

“It is as nerve-wracking as watching the Monarchs because there are so many Monarchs out there,” said Monarchs president Darren Abbott. “We went to L.A. (for Games 3 and 4) and everybody with the Kings and (ownership group) AEG said to us how important the Monarchs are to what they’re doing. That made me feel good and that’s the message I’d like to get out to everyone who has bought a ticket to our games and supported our events.”

Bourque said he was rooting for L.A. to win it as well.

“I’d love to see L.A. win just because they’ve been in the league 45 years and haven’t won one,” he said. “I think it would be great for them and the league and the fans.”

As for Bourque’s former team, the Bruins, he sees a bright future.

“That Stanley Cup winning team, they have a lot of those guys signed for many years to come,” Bourque said. “They have (Doug) Hamilton coming in next year, a good young defenseman. They have many things in place that should really bode well for the future and make a solid team for years to come and a contending team.”

The Bourque name could also figure in that future as Ray’s son, Chris, was traded from Washington to Boston last month. Chris Bourque is 26 and has played in 422 AHL games and 33 NHL games.

“That’s so exciting. He’s so thrilled,” Ray Bourque said. “He was going to become a free agent and the Bruins tried to trade for him a few times and it didn’t work out (in the past) but they traded for him a month ago and he signed a two-year deal and we’re all very excited for the opportunity. And he’ll be given an opportunity and it’s up to him to go out and do something.”
