It was a full house at the Michipicoten Memorial Community Center just before March Break. Students from all five of Wawa\u2019s schools \u2013 Ecole St. Joseph (ESJ), Escalade, Michipicoten High School (MHS), Sir James Dunn, and St. Augustine — packed the stands in support of the Wawa Community Food Bank.<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Whether cheering on high school students from ESJ and MHS who took to the ice in hopes to school the staff, or routing for staff from all the schools who bravely faced retribution from students, spectators were treated to a game showcasing talent, teamwork, and sportsmanship — and got to sticky fingers from all the treats from the school-run concession stands!<\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

Despite a close game, this year the staff team earned bragging rights in the halls, but the goals scored paled in comparison to the total money raised for the Wawa Community Food Bank. Just over $1,600 was raised for the cause, in addition to a sizable donation of non-perishable food items. It was a true team effort by all the schools as they came together for the larger community.<\/p>\n

As we make plans and negotiate contracts for next year\u2019s charity hockey game, we would like to thank all those who participated and made possible the opportunity for the schools to come together for a cause:<\/p>\n
