As a player, you are required to raise a minimum of $500 in donations to secure your spot in the game. Of course, we encourage you to raise as much as possible to help support Border City Connects and the vital services we provide to our community.
​
Your signed player waiver form must be submitted by March 30, 2026, as these are required for event insurance.

This is a Round Robin hockey game. Each player will participate in 6 hours of the 12-hour game, with the score kept cumulatively throughout the day and a winning team announced at the end of the event. Players are required to remain on site for the duration of the game.
​
Fundraisers like this are critical to ensuring Border City Connects can continue providing transportation and support services to those who need them most. Without this support, these services would be at risk. We sincerely appreciate your participation and commitment.
