Arena Manager’s Report
– Bryan advised: The closing day for ice was a resounding
success. Our Herman Valckx Memorial Volunteer Appreciation Day and Hockey for
Heart Tournament raised in excess of $5,000.00 for the Durham Region Heart & Stroke
Foundation. The Valckx Family; Theresa and children were all in attendance. He
acknowledged the great support he had received from Kythe Baldwin and his crew of
volunteers, who looked after the Bar-B-Q, the bar and the hockey event. Also, a special
thanks to our board member, Gord Blaker for volunteering to referee a number of games.
