HRDC to Defend Title

Geeks on Ice teams compete to capture the title of "Most Generous Team"

Moncton, NB- Teams participating in the annual Geeks on Ice hockey tournament held in Moncton from April 20, 2006 to April 23, 2006 are getting ready to compete on and off the ice. 16 teams from across Atlantic Canada will be playing in a round robin tournament with one team being crowned 2006 Champions and awarded the "Whitehill Cup". While teams battle on the ice, teams will also be competing off the ice for the title of "Most Generous Geeks" sponsored by Rising Stars (www.risingstars.ca).

Every year, the award is given to the team that raises the most funds during and before the event contributing Support for Single Parents. Raffle ticket purchases, silent auction winning bid and direct donations all go towards team totals. When purchasing a ticket, placing a bid or provide a donation, your team members (players, family members and friends) must tell the Support for Single Parents volunteers or Geek Ambassadors what hockey team they are supporting.

The winner will be announced at Geekfest on April 22, 2006. Last year's winners HRDC have already begun raising money by conducting 50/50 draws with the proceeds going to Support for Single Parents. "We look forward to defending our title..." says Mike Ouellette from HRDC. Last year HRDC walked away with the honors while Whitehill Technologies finished second.
