Rogers Hometown Hockey in Parry Sound



On Saturday and Sunday of this past weekend, (October 13th and 14th) it was indeed a pleasure and wonderful opportunity for Parry Sound to host Rogers Hometown Hockey!  My wife and I went down both Saturday and Sunday afternoon and it was an honour to take part in the presentation and thank you from Rogers Hometown Hockey!  It was so great to witness such terrific community spirit as the turnout was overwhelming.  This has been a great way to put Parry Sound on the map!  Thanks to all those who helped out, to our staff members involved with the organization, to Rogers Hometown Hockey and all the people who came out to the event!
