Thanking all who particiated in the 2019 Chedoke Winter Classic
On behalf of the Tournament Organizing Committee, we want to thank all our teams for participating in the 2019 Chedoke Winter Classic.
We played 74 games over 3 days at 6 different ice surfaces, and had over 50 volunteers manning out registration tables, raffle tables and food bank tables.
Our food drive collected over 1,800 pounds of food, and our Keep Hamilton Warm clothing drive was an overwhelming success. Thanks to our very generous participants, the Neighbour 2 Neighbour food bank will have an easier time re-stocking their shelves after a very busy holiday season. 13,000 Hamiltonians need the assistance of our local food banks on a daily basis, and i am proud to say that the Participants of the winter classic opened their hearts to help this year.
Thank you all for an amazing food drive. It will be returning at next year's tournament.
As an organizing committee, it was a pleasure to put in all the time and effort to make this happen for all of you.
Our hope is that you will all return for the 2020 Chedoke Winter Classic, and maybe tell a friend or two to come along and play.
See you next season.
