The Drumheller FunTeam Hockey Club continued its tradition of supporting The Salvation Army Food Bank at this annual Christmas Benefit Games.
There were five games were played on Sunday, December 4 in an effort for the Drumheller FunTeam Hockey Club to give back to their community. The Rookie Dragons took on the Rookie Miners, the Rookie Canucks played the Rookie Avalanche in the Junior Category, it was the Battle of Alberta as the Jr. Flames hosted the Jr. Oilers.
In Varsity the Chinook challenged the Freeze and to end the night The Intermediate Hurricanes played the Sr. Avalanche.
Games were won and lost but the real winner was the Salvation Army as the players and spectators donated 635 lbs of food and $100 cash towards a very worthy cause.
Part of the Drumheller FunTeam Hockey Program is not only to teach our youth hockey skills but also to promote citizenship and encourage how they can give back to our community. This past year that included the Salvation Army Christmas Hamper program, Alberta Highways Clean Up program, donation to Midland Community Hall Outdoor Rink project and a donation to the Grace House Society.
