The NHL’s Stanley Cup will be on display during the Heroes Hockey Challenge 2018 game and gala – which bring together Flames Alumni, Canadian Armed Forces, Military veterans, corporate sponsors and generous Calgarians to raise awareness and funds supporting our military, veterans and their families.
Calgary, Canada, November 05, 2018 --(PR.com)-- Princess Patricia’s Canadian Light Infantry (PPCLI) Foundation and the Military Museums (TMM) Foundation are pleased to announce the Eighth Annual Heroes Hockey Challenge (HHC).

All proceeds raised from both the Gala and Hockey Game will be shared by the PPCLI Foundation and the Military Museums Foundation – in support of programs for Canada’s serving military, veterans and their families, and military history programs for Albertan youths. Now in its seventh year, HHC events have raised more than $350,000 to date.
