On February 17, 2015 North Haven School hosted their First Annual 6 School Charity Floor Hockey Tournament to raise money for Jumpstart. Participating schools were: North Haven (host), Simons Valley, Rosedale, Langevin, Rosemont, and Calgary Christian School.
The gym was pumping with our guest DJ and we were honored to have a celebrity guest join us to open up the tournament. Meaghan Mikkelson, National Women’s Hockey Team, opened with a motivational speech and sharing of two Olympic Gold Medals from the 2010 and 2014 Winter Olympics. Her speech had our school population, visiting players, coaches, and sponsors on the edge of their seats engaged in laughter and tears. Following the speech, we had an acapella version of Oh Canada followed by Meaghan’s celebrity puck drop.
Each school was guaranteed two games in the round robin format. The top teams from each division played for Gold, Silver, and Bronze Medals. When teams weren’t playing they were participating with other teams exploring Physical Vocabulary with Trickster Theatre, sharing community learning with other classrooms within North Haven School. It was a storybook ending to the day with North Haven winning the gold medal with a goal in the last minute of play against Team Rosedale (silver). Calgary Christian took home the Bronze in an exhilarating win over Team Rosemont. We were all winners on multiple levels that day and as a large community, together, we proudly presented a cheque to Jumpstart on April 1 for $10 089.21... so ALL kids can play!
