Help the charity that got me into hockey - votes needed!

Recommended Posts

While I grew up in Edmonton and became a hockey fan, my family did not have the means for us to play hockey. It was from watching Curtis Joseph that I wanted to be a goalie, and goaltending was something I talked about enough for my grade six teacher to notice. She made a call to Sport Central, who provided a full set of goalie equipment, which enabled me to attend a local goalie camp. Even to this day, that week is one of the highlights of my life.

I finally gained entry into the sport I always wanted to join, though more recently I’ve come to value my fail-safe method for breaking the ice in new communities (“Hi! I’m a goalie!”) and the significance of small gestures.

 

Right now, Sport Central is competing with other charities to collect the most online votes. The winner receives $25,000. In the same way that Sport Central helped me, I’d like to ask you to help me to help Sport Central. It’s one of the ways I want to give back for the gift that they gave me.

 

Please follow the link to vote for Team Nugent-Hopkins! You can vote once every day on every device until February 16, 2017. Also, please share this story with your friends. Every vote counts towards supporting a charity that plays a big part in the Edmonton community.
