Ottawa Senators head coach and pizza cook for the day Dave Cameron was holding up just fine Sunday against the high temperatures coming from the fiery oven at Fiazza Fresh Fired in the Byward Market.

He and his wife, Kelly, volunteered at the pizza shop on Murray Street to help owners David Sugarman and Steve Lesh raise money for the Ottawa Rotary Home.


Ottawa Senators head coach Dave Cameron and his wife, Kelly, spent the day volunteering at the Fiazzo Fast Fired pizza shop in the ByWard Market on Sunday, July 5, 2015, to help raise money for the Ottawa Rotary Home.


Ottawa Senators head coach Dave Cameron was tending to the pizzas at a fundraiser for the Ottawa Rotary Home, held Sunday, July 5, 2015, at Fiazza Fresh Fired on Murray Street in the ByWard Market.

“I’m used to heat in my profession,” Cameron joked while taking a break from sliding fresh pizzas into the hot oven.

His other half was working the pizza assembly line, and getting a crash course on how to prepare pizza dough.

It was an entirely positive experience for the Camerons, who both enjoyed working behind the service counter during the busy lunch rush.

“It’s a chance to give a little bit back to the community that’s been real supportive,” Cameron explained. “It’s nice to step outside your comfort zone. I call this experience ‘the real world’.
“It’s nice to get in and mingle with people and talk stuff other than hockey.”

Fiazza Fast Fired staff member James Townley spent his afternoon alongside Ottawa Senators head coach Dave Cameron, who volunteered at the ByWard Market pizza shop on Sunday, June 5, 2015, to help raise money for the Ottawa Rotary Home.


Fiazza was donating up to $5,000 in sales that day to the Rotary Home, plus matching all cash donations. The Rotary Home provides short-term respite to parents of children with physical disabilities to keep families strong and healthy. It’s planning to use the funds raised Sunday for a new respite program geared toward young adults living at home.

It was Sugarman’s connection to Kelly, through her job as a yoga instructor, that led to the Camerons spending their Sunday afternoon volunteering for charity. The way Sugarman recalls it: “We said, ‘Do you think it would be something that you would feel comfortable doing?’ They were like, ‘What, eat pizza? Hang out with people? We’re down’.”
