Competitors can test their skills at a hardest shot station, accuracy shooting station, and accuracy race station. There will also be a celebrity game showcasing Special Olympians versus ex-NHL players.

The event will also feature other activities in addition to the ball hockey of course. Attendees can enjoy food trucks, a BBQ, and music, or catch up with mascots Wooly Bully and Sully the Gully, or local celebrities and town councillors. Plus, there will be prizes for the game winners and those with the best jerseys.

The event’s number one priority, however, is for everyone to have fun.
