Hockey fundraiser a welcome distractio­n

-

Congratula­tions to Balwin

School and Team Nugent-hopkins for getting the most votes and winning $25,000 for their charity, YOUCAN Youth Services in the Hockey Helps Kids contest. The support we received, especially from the north side of Edmonton, was both overwhelmi­ng and humbling. #Northsidep­ride is much more than just a hashtag.

Kudos to the other three schools that earned $10,000 for their respective charities. The contest was a welcome distractio­n from all of the craziness going on in the world. Craig O’connor, Edmonton
