There was plenty of hockey played in South Surrey and White Rock last weekend.<\/p>\n
The second annual Scotiabank Semiahmoo Ravens Alumni weekend was held across the peninsula March 6-8, and featured hockey players of all ages in an event that also raised money for local non-profit organizations.<\/p>\n
Semiahmoo Ravens alumni competed in an exhibition with NHL alumni players in a pro-am that was a highlight of the weekend, with mini-games featuring the Ravens\u2019 U7 teams. In addition, a U17 A Showcase drew teams from Cloverdale, Langley, North Delta and the Ravens\u2019 South Surrey and White Rock players.<\/p>\n
There was also a U9 March Madness event that saw 32 teams compete.<\/p>\n
Funds raised from the pro-am and throughout the weekend will go to Kid Sport Surrey & White Rock, the Canucks Autism Network, and Semiahmoo Minor Hockey, Semiahmoo Ravens executive director Scott Ackles said.<\/p>\n
He hailed the alumni weekend as a triumph, and praised the community, hockey players and sponsors for helping to make it such a success.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was amazing,\u201d Ackles said afterward, noting the minor hockey organization celebrates its 60th anniversary this year.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled with the outcome and how the community turned out.\u201d<\/p>\n
While there\u2019s still no official total, Ackles said the funds raised will likely come to close to $100,000.<\/p>\n
\u201cIt was just a fun, fun event. It was pretty awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n
He also gave praise to the many volunteers who helped make it all happen.<\/p>\n
\u201cNothing happens without volunteers, they\u2019re our most precious commodity.\u201d<\/p>\n
