Thanks to All who Supported Hockey Fights Cancer Weekend
Thank you to all those Eagle Families and Friends who supported our Hockey Fights Cancer Events this past weekend in Support of Coach Zakk. This weekend we showed that hockey is about so much more than just the game; it is about being a community and coming together when one of our own is in need of support.



Our community showed this Friday night at the East Lambton U15B/U18B Games. We were able to raise $2400 in donations for the Gurchin family. A huge thank you as well to WMHA (Wallaceburg Minor Hockey) for being part of this night. Your generous donation to Zakk and his family was very much appreciated by our team.  

A big thanks as well to the Alvinston Killer Bees for putting on a wonderful event Saturday night and helping raise $15,500.00 for the Gurchin Family.

Thanks Again to all that came out and Supported Hockey Fights Cancer and The Gurchin Family!
