The dinner March 2nd, precedes the Grey Bruce Celebrity Hockey Classic March 3rd, which is a two-game tournament that allows local hockey enthusiasts the opportunity to play alongside the greats.
If you play in the tournament, it also includes personalized team jerseys and socks in corporate colours, an NHL Great on your team and in your dressing room sharing their NHL experiences, two games of hockey, lunch, snacks, and water, and an opportunity to play in the All-Star game.
The events support Easter Seals which is a charitable organization that advocates for children with physical disabilities. They operate summer camps that Easter Seals describes on its website, as having “a multitude of physical and emotional benefits including the development of social skills, independence, self-esteem and confidence.”
Easter Seals also fundraises for accessibility and mobility equipment and participates in government consultations on issues affecting people with physical disabilities. The organization has also developed a parent advocacy kit to help families ensure their child is receiving the support and care they need.
