Mattawa, a small town in Ontario, is gearing up for a month-long celebration of hockey. The town, known for its love of the sport, has organized various events and activities to honor the game and its players.
One of the highlights of the month-long celebration is a game featuring NHL alumni. The event, which will take place on February 15th, is expected to draw a large crowd of hockey enthusiasts. The game will be held at the Mike Rodden Arena, which has been a hub for hockey in Mattawa for many years.
The NHL alumni team will be facing off against a local team made up of players from the Mattawa Minor Hockey Association. This will be a great opportunity for the young players to showcase their skills and learn from the experienced NHL players.
The game is not only a chance for the community to come together and enjoy a game of hockey, but it also serves as a fundraiser for the Mattawa Minor Hockey Association. The proceeds from the event will go towards supporting the development of young players and ensuring that the sport continues to thrive in the town.
In addition to the game, there will be other activities throughout the month, including a hockey skills competition, a hockey-themed art exhibit, and a screening of the documentary “Hockey: A People’s History”. These events aim to celebrate the rich history and culture of hockey in Mattawa and bring the community together.
The month-long celebration of hockey in Mattawa is a testament to the town’s passion for the sport. It is a time to honor the game and its players, both past and present, and to inspire the next generation of hockey players. So mark your calendars and join us in celebrating hockey in Mattawa this February.
