The event attracted over 100 people, including players, parents and on- lookers. When the event began five years ago, it was a New Year's Day tradition. "With our three young boys who love hockey, our neighbourhood decided to get together to start the new year off right. It began with a few neighbours and quickly morphed into 150 people last year," said Shannon King, who or- ganizes the event with her husband, Dan. Due to a different vacation schedule this year over the new year, the Kings had to postpone the tournament, but some neighbours still showed up looking for them. Real- izing there was a desire to have it continue, the Kings chose Good Friday as an alternate date. Player numbers fluctu- ate but there are usually 40 to 50 kids and dads on the various teams. The event is organized like a tourna- ment with multiple games going on all the time. The kids play for "the Stan- ley Cup", rotate lines, act as goalies and cheer on friends as fans, then they take breaks for snacks and drinks. The whole event lasts hours and, some years, well into the night depending on how cold the kids were. In years past, they have had to take breaks to clear the road of snow, warm up from the rain or, on lucky years, enjoy the sunshine. "We keep the tourna- ment going every year for the kids. They love it and kept asking this year when we were going to have it," said King. "It gets the kids outside, keeps them active, gives lots of laughs, and al- lows us to eat good food and circulate with friends." Sunday, April 22 will mark the 48th anniversary of Earth Day. The Town of Halton Hills is celebrating Earth Day and the import- ance of taking care of our community by partnering with local schools, busi- nesses and organizations to host week-long events that better our community. "The success of our Town's annual Earth Week celebrations relies on the dedication of volunteers and sponsors," said May- or Rick Bonnette.
