What a day. What a community. ❤️🏒

From the players who left it all on the ice, to the volunteers who kept everything running behind the scenes, to every single person who showed up to cheer, donate, and support - thank you. This tournament was something special, and it doesn’t happen without every one of you.

We’re still tallying up the final totals, raffle winners will be drawn soon, and the silent auction is now officially closed. But one thing is already crystal clear: the impact made this weekend will help more kids get on the ice and feel like they belong.

These moments, these smiles, this energy - this is what Lids for Kids is all about. Thank you for believing in the mission and showing up in such a big way. 🏒❤️

More to come very soon.

Quelle journée. Quelle communauté. ❤️🏒

Des joueurs qui ont tout donné sur la glace, aux bénévoles qui ont fait rouler l’événement en coulisses, jusqu’à chaque personne venue encourager, donner et soutenir - merci. Ce tournoi a été vraiment spécial, et il n’aurait pas été possible sans vous tous.

Nous sommes encore en train de comptabiliser les montants finaux, les gagnants de la tombola seront annoncés sous peu, et l’encan silencieux est maintenant officiellement terminé. Une chose est toutefois déjà certaine: l’impact créé ce week-end permettra à encore plus d’enfants de chausser les patins et de se sentir à leur place.

Ces moments, ces sourires, cette énergie - c’est exactement pour ça que Lids for Kids existe. Merci de croire en la mission et d’avoir été présents en si grand nombre. 🏒❤️

La suite arrive très bientôt.

A few weeks ago, a mom in Pincourt shared a post about her son, Jacob - his love for hockey, his passion for the game, and how far she was willing to go to support his dream.

We saw it… and we knew we had to step in.

Today, Lids for Kids met Jacob at and made sure he left with everything he needs to play hockey - from head to toe. 🏒

We’ll also be doing everything we can to help get him registered for a full season next September.

Jacob’s smile says it all. Like so many kids, he looks up to players like - dreaming of one day skating like his heroes and finding his own place in the game.

This is why we do what we do. ❤️

Every dollar raised helps kids like Jacob get their chance to play and feel like they belong.

Il y a quelques semaines, une maman de Pincourt a partagé un message à propos de son fils Jacob - son amour pour le hockey, sa passion pour le sport et tout ce qu’elle était prête à faire pour soutenir son rêve.

Nous l’avons vu… et nous savions que nous devions agir.

Aujourd’hui, l’équipe Lids for Kids a rencontré Jacob chez Play It Again Sports à Kirkland et s’est assurée qu’il reparte avec tout ce dont il a besoin pour jouer au hockey, de la tête aux pieds. 🏒

Nous ferons également tout notre possible pour l’aider à s’inscrire à une saison complète dès septembre prochain.

Le sourire de Jacob en dit long. Comme tant d’enfants, il s’inspire de joueurs comme Auston Matthews - en rêvant de patiner un jour comme ses idoles et de trouver sa place dans le sport.

C’est pour ça qu’on fait ce qu’on fait. ❤️

Chaque dollar amassé aide des enfants comme Jacob à avoir la chance de jouer et de se sentir à leur place.
