Brettzky’s Hockey Challenge has once again provided an opportunity for local groups and organizations to benefit from funds raised by the event.
The 2023 Challenge was its eighth annual, having started in 2015 by Brett Sutter in Calgary.
“It was moved to Viking 2016 with KidSport Alberta being the primary beneficiary,” explained chair of the Hockey Challenge Committee Todd Ritchie. The Brettzky Committee had been formed the following year.
“With the intent of keeping all the money raised in our community for local organizations,” said Ritchie. “The Committee mandate is providing funds to support youth sports and activities and organizations who contribute to the wellness of the community in the Viking area.”
Since then, over $287,000 has been donated to community groups.
