SHERWOOD PARK, Alberta,
Feb. 18, 2018 /PRNewswire-iReach/ --
The World's Longest Hockey Game is returning in 2018 and local
dealership, Sherwood Ford, has pledged to donate five
dollars every time Dustin
Nielson of TSN 1260 scores a goal. The dealership has
decided to up their ante this year in hopes that other
local businesses will follow suit and raise their
donations as well. All of the money raised from the
World's Longest Hockey Game will be donated to the Alberta Cancer
Foundation.
The World's Longest Hockey game started in 2003 as a way for Dr.
Brent Saik to pay tribute to his
late father. Dr. Saik has also founded the Annual Terry Saik
Memorial Golf Tournament and thought that a hockey game would be
another way to bring people in the Edmonton community together to raise money for
cancer research and treatments. The World's Longest Hockey game
will last from February 9th until February 19th and will
feature many local athletes who have donated their time to play for
a cause.
In the past, donations from the World's Longest Hockey Game have
exceeded one million dollars and have
greatly helped the Alberta Cancer
Foundation acquire new equipment as they attempt to
treat and eventually cure many different forms of cancer.
Those who wish to learn more about the World's Longest Hockey
Game may do so by visiting Sherwood Ford's
website, www.sherwoodford.ca. The dealership has provided a
blog post detailing the event on their community blog and
even provides an interview with Dustin
Nielson. Those wishing to learn how they can donate to the
World's Longest Hockey Game may contact the dealership in
order to learn more information. The team at Sherwood Ford can
