Sports Complex provided by local business sponsors. HGH Foundation officials are still re- viewing the gate receipts and advance tic- ket sales and expenses for the February 10 Scotiabank Hockey Night event. But Byham said the evening charity hockey game should have raised at least $24,000 to help with the Access 2018 project. The HGH Foundation staff will begin planning soon for the joint McHappy Day event, during the first week of May, with local McDonald’s franchises inHawkesbury and Casselman. Proceeds from the HawkesburyMcHappy Day drive will help support the HGH child- ren’s rehabilitation service centre, while the Casselman event will assist with funding for mental health services for children and youth in the HGH service region.

This year’s event saw the NHL veterans face their challengers in the HGH Scotiabank squad, with each side managing to score points on each other while the hometown crowd cheered both teams on during the evening. “They (spectators) were happy to be there,” said Byham. “They were there to cheer on the idols of their youth, and they were there to cheer on the community hockey members playing against their youth idols.” Habs Hockey School For about a hundred very young and very eager would-be NHL future stars, the excite- ment began earlier in the day at the arena. Habs veterans Gilbert Delorme, Sergio Momesso, and Richard Sevigny, with some help from a couple of the Hawks junior A club, spent an hour that afternoon with dozens of mightymites, Atoms, and peewee- age hockey players during a special free hockey skills clinic at the Robert Hartley
