Community Support Meets Hockey

Saint John firefighters raised over $16,000 during the latest Saint John Sea Dogs season. The funds come from the popular Chuck A Puck campaign held at home games. Fans purchased pucks and threw them onto the ice for a chance to win prizes. This initiative highlights the strong partnership between local first responders and the city hockey team.

Where the Money Goes

The campaign splits the raised money right down the middle. Half of the total goes directly to the Saint John Sea Dogs Foundation. The foundation uses these funds to support various community initiatives and youth programs across the region.

Your local firefighters take the other half and distribute it to charities right here in Saint John. This ensures the money stays in the community and helps those who need it most. You can see the direct impact of your generous contributions through these local charitable donations.

Looking Ahead to Next Season

The current Sea Dogs season is officially over. However the firefighters are already preparing for the next wave of community events. They plan to return next season to continue their fundraising efforts and community outreach.
