Help support local girls’ hockey by signing up for the fourth Fury Family Fun Run June 10 in Harrowsmith.

 

Organized by the Frontenac Fury Girls’ Hockey Association, the run/walk begins at 10 a.m.

 

New this year is a change of venue. Organizers have moved the run/walk to Centennial Park in Harrowsmith to take advantage of the park amenities and local trail system. There is a 1K route around the park grounds for children and a longer 5K route along the Cataraqui and K&P Trails. Post-race snacks and a barbecue will follow.

 

The run/walk is one of the association’s key fundraisers of the year. All proceeds go back into the non-profit association which is run by volunteers, many of whom are players’ parents or who serve as bench staff.

 

“The run/walk is an opportunity for the community to support the continued expansion of girls’ hockey in South, Central and North Frontenac,” says Fury Association President Lynn Newton. “This run/helps us support our families as we continue to empower young girls and women to be active and build self-confidence, sportsmanship and leadership—all through a love of hockey.”

 

 

Registration is now open for the Fury Association which last year saw 110 girls registered on 8 teams from Novice to Midget divisions, including two competitive teams, the first time there has been rep girls hockey out of the Frontenac Community Arena in over 10 years. The association also introduced hockey to over 70 six to 10 year olds (boys and girls) through the First Shift Program. This was the second year the association sponsored the program that outfits players from head to toe (helmet to skates) in new hockey equipment. Association volunteers then provide on-ice skills training for several weeks over the fall and winter months.
