17.01.2022 Wow, what a game! In an absolute thriller of a finish, our teams finished with a 2-2 score line that was followed by a penalty shootout. Our immensely talented goalies managed to stop every shot they faced and we ended with a tied match. The audience was on the edge of their seats for the whole game and the kids fed on the electricity of the crowd, delivering and outstanding performance. We would like to take this opportunity to thank everyone who attended. Such a huge turnou...t and such generosity in supporting the kids leaves us with an immense feeling of gratitude. Thank you to our sponsors and the hockey community for coming out and showing your support and helping make this very special event happen.
