OVERVIEW

The WDMH Foundation is pleased to announce our first-ever NHL Alumni Hockey Game event. It's a fun and interactive fundraiser for the local community. Join us on October 14th, 2023, at the Joel Steele Community Centre and Sam Ault Arena.

This event starts with a hockey game where NHL Celebrities will lace up against Local Community Members. The game will be followed by a meet and greet with the NHL Alumni players for those who purchase the VIP tickets.

Raise funds to join a team on the ice – or just come out for a fun evening of hockey and other surprises.

During the event, there will be a silent auction, raffles, games, and a free photo booth. Local famous hockey enthusiast Liam Mcguire will be our emcee for the evening.

Please join us to help raise funds in support of the WDMH Foundation's General Equipment Fund. Many people are surprised to learn that the provincial government does not fund the purchase of medical equipment for Ontario hospitals. That’s where the WDMH Foundation and our generous donors come in.
