Ranging from Kindergarten to Grade 8 students, players interacted with thousands of students while making stops at nearly 50 public and catholic elementary and middle schools.
 
In addition to attending schools, the organization spent time helping with minor hockey practices, visiting over 10 rinks and more than 40 Initiation and Novice level hockey practices. The hockey club also welcomed dozens of other teams to take part in the Tim Horton’s Tim Bit’s promotion at all 36 home games throughout the season.
