At the beginning of the season, it was announced that Hockey Day in Saskatchewan would take place in Gull Lake from January 14 to 20, 2019. The slogan’ One Rink, One Dream, became a rallying point for the host committee. With the hard work from volunteers, the community responded and brought together a fantastic event this past January.

The Saskatchewan Hockey Association (SHA) and the Gull Lake Host Committee are excited to announce the total funds raised at Hockey Day in Saskatchewan, 2019. Once all the games were done and all the events complete, the total profit from the entire week-long celebration was $128,000. The funds raised will assist in renovations and upkeep of the Gull Lake Skating Rink.

“A deep collective sigh could be heard from the [organizing] team. This was not an exhausted, thank goodness it is over, but an overwhelming feeling of pride and satisfaction of a job well done!”
