Big Nickel Cheque Presentation
Thank you to Barry McCrory and the Big Nickel Tournament Committee
(Grant Trayner, Dave Makela, Linda McCrory, Greg Pagan, Tammy Simpson and Joe McColeman).  

Sudbury Minor Hockey is appreciative of the generous donation of $20,000 from the Big Nickel Tournament Committee.  Part of the donation will be used toward graduating player scholarships, and the rest will go towards supporting Sudbury Minor Hockey programs.  

We would also like to thank the Big Nickel Committee with support from Terri Timony, Craig Maki, Angela Vendette and Eric Caetano, for their expertise and support in coordinating and running the U13AAA All-Ontario Championships this year.  Through their efforts, the tournament was a huge success and we are very grateful.
