Here’s what makes this event so special:
A Star-Studded Lineup: HHTH brings together amateur players, NHL alumni, and Olympians for a once-in-a-lifetime experience. Teams are captained by fundraisers who draft NHL alumni and Olympians, giving participants the chance to skate alongside their hockey heroes.
Purpose with Passion: Proceeds raised from the tournament will directly support the YMCA Men’s Residence in Hamilton and the Youth in Transition program in Burlington, both of which play a critical role in addressing homelessness in our communities.
The Pro Experience: Play three games with a former NHL Pro or Olympian, get personalized jersey & socks, a fully equipped locker room, complimentary breakfast, lunch, snacks, and beverages, complimentary participant gift, and a reception.
