Members of the Wellington County OPP participated in the 2nd Annual Kate McNally Memorial MADD (Mothers Against Drunk Driving) hockey game on Feb. 18.
The event took place at the Palmerston and District Community Centre with a puck drop at 7pm followed by a chuck the puck competition, door prizes and static displays.
Members from the three detachments in Wellington County made up the OPP team, which took on male and female students from Norwell District Secondary School.
The players were cheered on by excited fans including fellow classmates, parents and officers, as well as local residents, fire fighters and dignitaries.
The game was officiated by Scott Driscoll, a National Hockey League linesman, and P/C Steve Smith, a school resource officer at the Centre Wellington District High School in Fergus.
The event, which was held in honour of Kate McNally, a former Norwell student who was killed four years ago by a driver that was drinking, raised $1,269 in support of MADD Wellington County.
The Wellington OPP along with MADD Wellington County, McNally’s family and friends and Norwell students expressed thanks to everyone who contributed to making the event a huge success for a second year in a row.
