We were a bit late presenting our donation to Cabot Trail Arena - NIRCA this year but good things come to those who wait, right? Very happy to be able to give back $25,000.00 to the arena in Phillip’s honour.

We also gave two bursaries worth $1,000.00 each in June.

Since 2020, the Phillip Poirier Fundraising Memorial Hockey Tournament has given back a total of:

$112,000.00 to the Cabot Trail Arena
$9,500.00 in Bursaries
$2,500 to C.A.R.E.S.

We’re looking forward to the 7th Annual Tournament on March 5th, 6th & 7th, 2027.
