Tickets are now available as the 3rd Annual Wounded Warrior Charity Hockey Game hits the ice Friday, December 5th.

The game takes place from 6:00 p.m. to 9:00 p.m. at the Comox Valley Sports Centre. Doors open at 5:00 p.m.

This event brings together local first responders from the Comox Valley RCMP, Courtenay, Comox, Oyster River and Cumberland Fire Departments, BC Wildfire Service, and CFB Comox, who will take on the Comox Valley Glacier Kings for a night of fun, hockey, and community spirit.

Over the past two years, the event has raised more than $42,000 in support of Wounded Warriors Canada - funds that stay on Vancouver Island to support First Responders, Military Members, Veterans, and their families struggling with PTSD and Operational Stress Injuries.

This year’s lineup event includes Dr. Tim Black, National Clinical Director for Wounded Warriors Canada, who will join the first responders on the ice.

Aside from the action on the ice, the night includes mascots and entertainment, a 50/50 draw, duck toss, and emergency vehicle displays.

There will also be a silent auction with items including Lions and Whitecaps tickets, horseback riding lessons, wellness packages, flights from Pacific Coastal Airlines and more.

This event is entirely volunteer-driven, meaning every dollar raised goes directly to the cause.

Tickets are available now at Happy’s Source for Sports, The CANEX (by the base), and the Comox Valley RCMP Detachment, and will also be sold at the door (while supplies last).
