The Comox Valley’s featured charity sporting match will make its return next month.
The third annual Wounded Warrior Charity Hockey Game between the Comox Valley Glacier Kings and a team made up of local first responders is taking place December 5 at the Comox Valley Sports Centre.
The first two years of the event raised more than $42,000 for Wounded Warriors Canada to support Vancouver Island first responders, military members, veterans and their families struggling with PTSD and operational stress injuries.
This year’s game will have a 50/50 draw, a rubber duck toss, emergency vehicle displays, intermission entertainment and a silent auction.
The silent auction will have a range of prizes including B.C. Lions and Vancouver Whitecaps tickets, a signed Whitecaps jersey from the Comox Valley’s Liam MacKenzie, horseback riding lessons, wellness packages, flights from Pacific Coast Airlines, brewery packages, golf pro lessons, a car audio system and sky diving lessons.
Tickets can be purchased at Happy’s Source for Sports, CANEX, the Comox Valley RCMP detachment or at the door on game day while supplies last.
Tickets cost $16 for adults, $12 for students and seniors, $8 for kids aged 5-11 and children under the age of five get in for free.
Doors will open at 5:00 p.m., while puck drop is scheduled for 6:00 p.m.
