Two Okanagan companies and a roster of 12 NHL greats have mustered up an impressive sum for our local food bank. 

On Sunday, Dec. 22, BNA Brewing Co. and JDS Energy & Mining faced-off on the ice of Prospera Place for their annual Pros Vs Joes Hockey Tournament. 

Each team was paired with a line of NHL alumni’s including Josh Gorges, Wade Redden and Jordan Tootoo with one goal in mind — collecting monetary and food donations for the Central Okanagan Food Bank during one of the most trying times of year. 

After a light-hearted battle, the players and spectators who attended managed to muster up an incredible $100,000 for the organization!

In addition, over 200lbs of food was gathered for those within the community who are facing food insecurity.
