Hometown Heroes charity hockey game
raises over $40,000 for local organizations

Despite the mid -summer heat,
the Canadian hockey spirit was
out in full force at the Maitland
Recreation Centre on July 21.
The third annual Hometown
Heroes "Raise A Little Health"
charity hockey game raised
$40,000. Those funds will be dis-
tributed between the Goderich-
Huron YMCA Strong Kids cam-
paign, Gateway Centre of
Excellence in Rural Health and
the Alexandra Marine and Gen-
eral Hospital Foundation.
MP for Huron Bruce, Ben
Lobb, spearheaded the initiative
three years ago as a way to raise
funds for local organizations. The
event has raised about $130,000
over the three years, something
Lobb said is remarkable for a
community like Goderich and
the surrounding areas.
"It's a great community initia-
tive," Lobb said.
Thanks to a promise made by
Lobb, spectators were given the
opportunity to see some big
names in the world of professional
hockey grace the ice of the MRC.
Returning for the third year in
a row were crowd favourites and
team captains, Ryan O'Reilly
and Boyd Devereaux.
"This is home," Ryan O'Reilly
said. "It's a great community."
Big names in the hockey world battled it out on the MRC ice on July 21
for the third annual charity hockey game.
O'Reilly said he likes being
able to come back and help out
a community he lived in when
he was younger. He said he was
fortunate to grow up in Huron
County where there is a big
focus on hockey.
"So to come back and contrib-
ute...to see these kids out here
and affect that. Hopefully one of
these days one of those kids will
be playing in the NHL too,"
O'Reilly said.
Former NHLer Dave McLlwain,
Frank Corrado of the Toronto
Maple Leafs, Jared McCann of the
Florida Panthers, and Keaton Mid-
dleton (fourth round 2016 NHL
entry draft pick for the Maple
Leafs) also joined the roster.
"There's likely thousands of
games played combined, of all
the guys out here," Lobb said.
"We've had more pros everyyear
and less guys like me playing
because we really want to entertain
the fans with the high-level hockey:'
This year there was also star
power behind the bench with
former Toronto Blue Jay right
fielder and two time recipient of
the Gold Glove award, Jesse Bar-
field, guiding Team Devereaux.
Barfield helped coach Lobb's
baseball camp last year, but
wasn't able to make out to the
diamonds this year so he
decided to help out at the rink.
"It didn't work out for him to
do our baseball camp this year,
but we wanted to do something.
He loves the area, and it was
great to have him behind the
bench," Lobb said.
Team Devereaux came out on
top of Team O'Reilly before
shoot-outs with a score of 6-4.
The final score was a tie at 9-9.
