Over $372,322 was raised by nearly 2,000 youth at the annual Hockey for Hospice Tournament.
The tournament was played over the weekend at five different local arenas.
“Hockey For Hospice is an example of the very best of Windsor and Essex County,” said Colleen Reaume, executive director of The Hospice. “It’s so gratifying to see how engaged these kids are in the tournament. Not only do they have fun, raise pledges and learn about The Hospice, they have each become wonderful ambassadors for us, and we are so grateful for the support.”
This was the 24th year for the house league hockey tournament.
“Different families have different types of holiday traditions – for our family and friends, Hockey for Hospice has been a 24-year tradition,” said Tim Beaulieu, tournament founder and co-chair. “We are incredibly appreciative that our community has been so receptive to this event, and we look forward to planning for our 25th anniversary in 2020.”
Over the past 24 years, the tournament has raised $3,695,752.
