The Ottawa Valley Silver Seven held a team day on Saturday in Almonte with 5 on 5 scrimmages and cost of admission was a donation for the Lanark County food bank.  The following is a note from the organizer to the OVSS Communications Director and a couple of pictures of the result.  Congratulations on the donation!

Liann - just wanted to pass along the following picture that Pete and I took this afternoon when we dropped off our donations to the Lanark Food Bank this afternoon.  In total we were able to collect approx. $2900 in food & cash donations. The second picture highlights the weight of our food collected, and provides a little information about the Food Bank. Our collection from the weekend will help feed approximately 50 people for 30 days!  What a great job from all our family members over the weekend.  It really touch's you to think the work that we did on Saturday would feed 3 of our hockey teams for 30 days.  Just one of the reason why all of our S7 executives and coach's volunteer their time for days like these to where we not just a hockey association but families that give back!

It is with extreme sadness that we announce the sudden passing of the Eastern Ontario Cobras Association President, Bruno Gendron.

Bruno was a dedicated volunteer of the Eastern Ontario Cobras for many years. He worked endless hours ensuring every single Cobras player received the best possible development and hockey experience possible. He was always a joy to be around as you can all attest to. Most importantly he was a tremendous person and was a great friend to many of us and will truly be missed. We extend our condolences to Nadine, Ivana, Maël and the rest of the family.
