Members of the HP Giants Club Varsity hockey team volunteer their time yesterday (2/19) at our Garrett's Skate event. This free event sponsored by the Collopy Family was to introduce the sport of hockey to kids in our community, and to reduce financial barriers to the sport. We had 75 kids from the community show up to this event, and the players were excellent role models for these kids!
