Alumni help the Homeless

2009-02-20 : With the homelessness issue in Vancouver still at the top of major concern for all British Columbians, the Vancouver Canucks Alumni and other former NHL players laced up to join members of Vancouver‟s business committee to raise funds and awareness for the cause. The volunteer driven event which is already tradition in some of Canada‟s major cities like Toronto, Calgary and Montreal, celebrated the first of its kind in the city of Vancouver. The event, which took place on February 20, 2009 at UBC Thunderbird Arena, gave members of Vancouver‟s business committee the opportunity to play hockey alongside some of their favorite Vancouver Canucks Alumni and former NHL professionals. Also laced up with the teams was Vancouver‟s Mayor Gregory Robertson who helped score the winning goal for his team. All proceeds from the event will go to worthy charitable organizations in Vancouver for specific homeless integration projects and programs. Despite recent tough economic times, the event was able to raise more than $65,000, which will help in keeping with the organization's mission statement; to "end homelessness" in Canada.
