The Verona Lions Club (Donna Clarke Children’s Fund) donated $5,000 to the Frontenac Girls’ Hockey Association at the Lions’ general meeting on October 26. Over the last five to six years, the association has worked diligently in the advancement of girls’ hockey in our area. Formerly known as the Flyers, the girls now have a new name, new colours, new jerseys, new equipment and a new winning attitude: welcome The Frontenac Fury!
During the 2009 – 2010 season, the Midget C Team qualified for the Provincial Championships and represented Eastern Ontario last April. Three years ago the association also established the Atom Team (8 to 10 years old).
Money from the Verona Lions Club donation will be used to secure goalie instruction, power skating instructions, player and coach development and provide equipment at reduced cost to girls within the organization who could not play hockey without a little support.
The girls are at the Frontenac Community Area every Sunday afternoon from 2:30 to 6:30 P.M.
