A massive THANK YOU to everyone who contributed to making this Saturday's Try Hockey for Free event one of the most successful events to date! With a whopping 60+ new little skaters and their families, and an outstanding turnout of over 30 adult, high school, and youth volunteers, the day was filled with infectious smiles and enthusiastic energy. Beyond the impressive numbers, our participants and their siblings had the heartwarming opportunity to sign a giant poster reading "Thank You Heroes" to honor and commemorate our fallen heroes and will be shared with the police and fire departments. Your dedication and support truly made a positive impact, and we're grateful for each one of you!
