“We held a virtual watch party on Zoom and everybody nearly hit the ceiling when they saw our team’s name come up on the screen,” said co-coach Matt Belanger.
The Good Deeds Cup goes annually to the Canadian youth hockey team which does the most to give back to their community.
“We made kindness a focus for our team this season,” said Belanger, taking note of the message from the B.C. health officer.
Team members saw a broadcast advertisement for the Good Deeds Cup during the 2021 world junior championship and Admirals manager and treasurer Anna Warhurst spearheaded the effort.
