Peters Township and Canon McMillan to Play Varsity Hockey Game to Benefit “Operation Troop Appreciation”

The Indians and Big Macs are long time rivals that, due to Canon McMillan moving to a larger enrollment classification, have not played competitively for a few years. “These guys grew up playing with and against each other in amateur hockey over the years. Many of them are good friends off the ice and we thought it would be great to get an annual game organized to benefit a good charitable cause” said Mike Almasy, President of the Canon McMillan Hockey Club. The teams will be playing for the “Miners Cup” trophy, honoring the important role coal mining has played in the history of Washington County. Tickets will be $5 at the door.

The mission of Operation Troop Appreciation is: “To build and sustain the morale of deployed troops, enabling them to complete their missions with the assurance that the American public supports and appreciates their selfless service and daily sacrifices.”
