Big Laughs, Big Impact for Honeywood Arena


Yuk Yuk’s Comedy Night in Honeywood was a tremendous success, selling out completely and filling the room with laughter. North of 89 Alliance was thrilled by the incredible community turnout in support of the much-needed upgrades and renovations to the Honeywood Arena.



North of 89 Alliance sends a heartfelt thank you to Len Gushardi for his support with sound and lighting, and to the Mulmur community for continuing to support local initiatives that help strengthen our community.

Community Spirit Shines at Honeywood Hockey Tournament


The Honeywood Men’s Hockey Tournament on April 3 - 4, 2026 was an outstanding success! A grand total of $13,840.00 was raised to go towards the renovations of our beloved arena. A HUGE thank you to Cory Matthews, who organized the tournament and Christine Marcoux, who organized this year's Silent Auction, which helped raise over $3,500.00.


This kind of endeavour cannot work without a dedicated group of volunteers. From helping to set up the schedules, getting referees, keeping the ice surface in good shape, working the time clock, selling 50/50 tickets, bartending, setting up and working on the silent auction, picking up garbage, controlling exuberant behaviours and cleaning up. 

 

What a wonderful community of caring individuals we live in. GO HONEYWOOD GO!!!!!
