Dear Editor
On behalf of the New Westminster Minor Hockey Association, I am writing to thank you for your generous support of the Rogers Hometown Hockey event held at Queen’s Park Feb. 12 to 14.
We simply couldn’t have done this without the dozens of dedicated sponsors and newspaper insert advertisers, like you, who helped support us financially. Over 1,000 people attended the big Hometown Hockey Welcome Rally we hosted on Friday, Feb 12. The rally included over 200 minor hockey players who hit the ice late in the afternoon. I am pleased to report that during the rally we received over $2,700 in donations for our financial assistance fund. The fund helps increase access to hockey for kids that may not otherwise be able to participate due to their financial circumstances.
By all accounts, our rally and the entire Rogers Hometown Hockey weekend was a resounding success. Thanks again for your generous support of minor hockey and we look forward to working with you again soon!
Robert Nasato, President NWMHA
