Praise from the Hockey Community

Tysons team has gone through some tough times this year. Their season started with the devastating news of their teammate and friend Jesse, being diagnosed with cancer. Together they have stood strong beside Jesse to help him fight cancer. No win they have won has ever compared to Jesse's win against cancer.




Most recently losing a hockey dad suddenly, they have come together again to show support to their teammate and friend who has lost one of the biggest parts of his life. 

Our community has come together to help support both these boys in many ways, Owen Sound Minor Hockey has gone above and beyond to support these boys but the bigger picture here is this. 

The Major Bantam Hespeler Shamrocks got wind of what happened to one of our hockey dads and immediately contacted us and forwarded a package to Sky and his family to show their support. 

The Major Bantam Guelph Storm has donated several times to Jesse’s go fund me page and are wearing a grey ribbon to support him and have asked for t-shirts with Jesses logo so they can wear to our next game against them. 

I may be just a sap but this literally brought a lot of tears to my eyes. What these two teams have done is shown our boys that hockey unites complete strangers, friendships are formed and there are so many good people in this world. We are blessed to be part of this organization and win or lose on the ice, hockey is worth every cent and every hour spent. 

Hespeler and Guelph Major Bantams, you should feel so amazingly good about what you have done, the Owen Sound Major Bantams are forever grateful for your support!!! If anyone knows either of these teams please tell them you heard what they did, they deserve recognition!!
