Raiders Day
The second annual Raiders Day in St. Albert on Saturday will showcase eight of the 12 St. Albert Raiders Hockey Club teams in seven games at Servus Credit Union Place.
The goal of Raiders Day is to celebrate hockey in the community along with the history of the Raiders Club in developing not only good hockey players, but good people.
Food bank and toy collection bins will be located outside the seating entrances of all three rinks.
A progressive 50/50 will run throughout the day at every game and the Raiders’ portion will be donated to Special Olympics St. Albert.
The winning number will be announced through raidershockey.ca and social media feeds.
Special Olympics St. Albert athletes will perform the puck drop at one of the AAA games.
Situated on the upper floor is an information booth with a Raiders Club board member available to answer questions, plus a silent auction sports memorabilia table featuring items from past Raiders who have gone onto the National Hockey League.
