The
Peterborough Kings Auto Wreckers Midget AA Ice Kat Hockey Team wanted to
undertake a team activity that would have a positive impact on their community,
and they chose “
Share the Warmth – Peterborough”.
After connecting with Coordinators Jen Freymond and her husband Ben Lalande, the Midget AA girls worked at collecting new and used winter clothing for distribution to the homeless or those in need in the greater Peterborough area.
“No one should have to be cold. We wanted to work as a team to help collect and distribute warm clothing to those in our community who are in need”, said Team Captain Amelia Lackie.
Jen Freymond, a former Ice Kat player herself, was thrilled with the Ice Kat contribution of 76 winter coats, 24 pairs of snowpants, 14 winter vests, 8 blankets and a large quantity of toques, mittens, gloves and scarves. Freymond added “It is important for our youth to learn about generosity and about the importance of giving back to their community. We were very excited when the Midget AA Ice Kats picked “Share the Warmth – Peterborough” to support this year, and this is an excellent jumpstart to our campaign, which officially runs from December 1st to 21st. “
