About:
Between the four varsity teams and JV programs, we will have at least 100 athletes helping to collect and donate food items for the food pantries in both Weymouth and Hingham
Our hockey players in Weymouth have volunteered a day at the food pantry just before Thanksgiving, but for this event, they are doing is collecting and donating items.
Each year on Christmas Eve we play Hingham in boys and girls hockey. Because of the large crowd that we draw for these games, we started using the game as a chance to give back to the community. It unfortunately began when Sgt Chesna (Weymouth Police) lost his life in the line of duty. We used the game to raise money for his family. Each year, we try to choose a new destination for our efforts. Last year was Coats for Kids and this year will be the food pantries in each town.
