This past weekend – on December 28 and 29 – more than 6,500 residents, minor hockey players, community members and visitors joined in the fun of Rogers Hometown Hockey’s Whitby event.
The free event was held at the Town of Whitby’s Iroquois Park Sports Centre and featured live entertainment, giveaways and hockey-themed activities, culminating with a live outdoor viewing party of an NHL broadcast from the Sportsnet Mobile Studio.
A highlight of the event was the Parade of Champions where Whitby minor hockey teams joined together to march through the festival site. Visits and free autograph signings by Toronto Maple Leafs player Zach Hyman and NHL Alumni Keith Primeau and Wayne Primeau were also highlights. The tour stop was hosted by Sportsnet’s Ron MacLean and Tara Slone.
