BURLINGTON, ON

A Burlington minor hockey team’s season of giving back came full circle this weekend, as the U10 Burlington Bulldogs travelled to Kelowna for a once-in-a-lifetime experience with NHL legend Jarome Iginla through the Giuseppe x Dr. Oetker Practice with a Pro program.

The team earned the opportunity after a season of meaningful community impact, raising funds, collecting donations for families in need, and supporting seniors and veterans across Burlington.

While in Kelowna for Memorial Cup festivities, the Bulldogs participated in an on-ice practice coached by Iginla, as well as took part in a series of hockey-themed experiences, celebrating the recognition of their efforts beyond the rink.
