Hometown Heroes Hockey Game Tonight

The puck drops at 7:00 tonight for the 5th annual Hometown Heroes Raise a Little Health charity hockey game at the Maitland Rec. Centre in Goderich.

Huron-Bruce M-P Ben Lobb says in the past four years they've raised a total of 180-thousand dollars and he's confident tonight's game will put them over the 200-thousand dollar mark.

Lobb adds all of the money raised goes to local charities that support health care; the Gateway Centre of Excellence in Rural Health, the Alexandra Marine and General Hospital, and Goderich-Huron YMCA Strong Kids Program.

NHL'ers Ryan and Cal O'Reilly will be there along with local hero Dave MacIlwain and Brett McLean from Port Elgin.

San Jose Shark coach and former Kitchener Ranger head coach Peter DeBoer will be coaching one of the teams.
