Allen played for the Fredericton Midget ‘AAA’ Canadiens before being drafted in the Quebec Major Junior Hockey League draft by the St. John’s Fog Devils.
He was then drafted by the St. Louis Blues in the 2008 NHL Entry Draft and debuted in the league in 2012.
The event will take place rain or shine.
