Brother Jamie Lush is apart of the longest Hockey raising funds to help fight Cancer

Hello brothers and sisters of Local 720,

I am writing to invite you to the World’s Longest Hockey Game, which will take place from February 5 through to February 16 just east of Sherwood Park Alberta. I have been given the opportunity to participate in this game which will be extremely physically, emotionally and mentally challenging.

The World’s Longest Hockey Games and World’s Longest Baseball Games have raised over eight million dollars for the Cross Cancer Institute since 2003. Our goal for this year’s game is to raise one million dollars that will go directly to CAR T-cell immunotherapy equipment to be installed in Edmonton.

The hockey game will be played on an outdoor arena in Strathcona County. Each team is allowed twenty players. Rosters cannot be changed once the game has started. The skaters will be in groups of 6 to 8 playing while the others rest. Each shift is from four to six hours long. The current world record is two hundred sixty two hours. We are scheduled to break the record at approximately 18:00 on Monday February 16.

We would be honoured if you could attend this special event and support our cause. Your donation will help make a difference in the lives of fellow Albertans fighting cancer.
