Hockey Night in Dufferin-Caledon was a HUGE success in its inaugural year!
The event raised $86,000 for Headwaters Health Care Foundation.
“I’m thrilled with the success of the inaugural year of Hockey Night in Dufferin-Caledon and how our community came together to raise $86,000 for our local hospital,” said Kyle Seeback, Member of Parliament for Dufferin-Caledon, and organizer of the first-ever Hockey Night in Dufferin-Caledon.
“The outpouring of support for this sold-out event was incredible. Everyone who bought game and prize tickets; the local NHL and elite players who wowed the spectators; the sponsors; and the volunteers all contributed to the tremendous success of the evening. I’m so proud of our community and what we achieved together.”
Hockey Night in Dufferin-Caledon included local NHL players Brett Ritchie, Nick Ritchie, Taylor Raddysh, Darren Raddysh, and Andrew Mangiapane, as well as other local elite players.
Team Dufferin won the action-packed game, led by celebrity coaches Warden of Dufferin County (Mayor of Shelburne) Wade Mills, and Town of Orangeville Councillor Joe Andrews, while Team Caledon was led by Town of Caledon Mayor Allan Thompson, and Wards 3&4 Regional Councillor Jennifer Innis.
The family-friendly evening also delivered fun activities and outstanding prizes for everyone in attendance, which included “Chuck a Puck” with Joel Osmond taking home a signed Mitch Marner Toronto Maple Leafs jersey.
Three lucky winners won raffle prizes ranging from an Air Canada round trip for two, Twenty One Pilots concert tickets, and four tickets to a Toronto Maple Leafs Game.
“After more than two years of the pandemic, it was wonderful for our community to be enjoying a fun, exciting evening together celebrating Canada’s favourite pastime, while supporting a fantastic cause,” said Mr. Seeback. “I’m already looking forward to Hockey Night 2023.”
