A charity hockey game in Wiarton brought in some donations for the local food bank and pitted emergency responders against one another in an exciting battle on the ice.
Grey Bruce OPP and South Bruce Peninsula firefighters took to the ice Friday evening, while the community came out to support their cause with gifts for the firefighter’s annual Christmas toy drive, and donations for the food bank.
Grey Bruce OPP describe it as a “Friendly yet intense competition. With both teams battling fiercely.” They say the score remained tight throughout the game, but with only 4 seconds left on the clock, the Grey Bruce OPP executed a stunning play to clinch a 6-5 victory.
A total of $322.00 was raised for the South Bruce Peninsula Toy Drive, alongside numerous toys and non-perishable food donations for the food bank in Wiarton.
Grey Bruce OPP and South Bruce Peninsula Fire Department are thanking the community for its support, and wishing everyone a joyful and thankful holiday season.
