Did you hear the news?
The CBU Women’s CAPERS Hockey Team and the Cape Breton Blizzard Female Hockey Association have Sydney in the final 4 communities in Canada vying for the title of Kraft Hockeyville 2022! The winning hometown will receive $250,000 toward arena upgrades and a live NHL pre-season game at a local arena.
If we are the successful hometown, the grand prize money will be used for updates at the Canada Games Complex on the Cape Breton University campus, which will turn that rink into the home for women’s hockey. Currently, women and girls do not have a designated home arena and have zero hours of prime time ice in CBRM facilities. They are given the times that are left over once the already established men’s and boy’s ice times are scheduled.
Imagine a rink dedicated to girl’s and women’s teams. It will be unique in Canada!
Winning Kraft Hockeyville will give our teams a home and our community would host a pre-season NHL game at Centre 200 in Sydney, something that hasn't happened in over 30 years!
