On August 15, 16 , 17, Central York Girls
Hockey, Aurora Minor Hockey and York Simcoe Express held a Second Hand Hockey
Equipment Sale. The purpose of the sale was not only to help families in
our memberships beat the high cost of hockey
equipment, but also to donate equipment to the Beausoleil First Nation
Community.
Over the three days, we sold 300 pieces of equipment, which netted $1500.
In partnership with Canadian Tire, Aurora, this money will be used to purchase
24 new hockey helmets. These helmets, along with 30 hockey bags stuffed
with used equipment,
will make their way to Beausoleil Hockey players.
