The party will get underway at 7 pm and there will be popcorn and refreshments available.

Cornwall girls hockey coach and community volunteer Rod McLeod is one of the 100 finalists in the contest, which celebrates and recognizes local hockey supporters across the country. The top five nominees will win a grand prize of $100,000 for their selected Minor Hockey Association, while another 20 nominees will win $20,000 for their selected Minor Hockey Association.

“The fact that Mr. McLeod was selected as a finalist in this national contest is a big accomplishment in itself,” said Marc Campeau, Junior Director with Cornwall Girls Hockey Association. “Regardless of the outcome, we feel we’re already a winner for having Mr. McLeod.”
