The New Hamburg Huskies Minor Peewee A hockey
team's best assist this year could in fact take place off the ice.
On Saturday, November 15, players, coaches and parents representing the Huskies
Minor collected donations for the Wilmot Food Bank. With groups at the New
Hamburg No Frills and Sobeys grocery stores from 9:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m., the
Huskies collected more than 880 food items, some toys and cash donations in
excess of $670.
Trisha Robinson, Executive Director of the Wilmot Family Resource Centre commended the team on its effort and said the donation of food, cash and toys "was like a hat-trick for you and our community."
The Huskies thank the management at No Frills and Sobeys for allowing the team to collect and give back to Wilmot Township, and also thank the community for its generous support of this worthy cause.
This past weekend, the Huskies clawed their way into the semi-finals of the Guelph Powerplay Tournament, losing to the Burlington Bulldogs -- the eventual tournament winners and a team that the Huskies tied 2-2 in the first game of the tournament.
