(MCRP) hosted its annual Hockey Draft fundraiser on Sunday, April 28th, at the North Ridge Community Centre.
Doors opened at 4:30pm with the Draft starting at 5pm. Teams consisted of up to 8 people per table at a cost of $620/team which included an amazing supper that was provided by the Sports Page with roast beef, mashed potatoes, mixed vegetables, coleslaw, caesar salad and buns.
Prizes for the winners are; 1st place – $5000, 2nd place – $2500, and 3rd place – $1000.
A highlight of the evening was when the Martensville Community Recreation Project (MCRP) received a cheque from the Party on the Pond Committee for $50,000.
The MCRP has raised thousands of dollars since starting this committee in the early 2000s through community events such as their 3-on-3 hockey tournament, Martensville Hockey Draft, Buster Days Street Hockey, TUFF Run, 80’s cabaret and Party on the Pond.
The Martensville Recreation Centre (MRC) is planned to be the anchor attraction at Trilogy Ranch, with a full-size ice surface and seating for 900, 8 dressing rooms, a full-size indoor turf field and 6 dressing rooms, concession and lounge, climbing walls, indoor playgrounds and other multipurpose rooms to name a few.
This 680-acre residential and commercial development located just west of Highway 12 and bordering the City’s current west boundary began construction in November of 2022 and is scheduled to be open in the fall of this year.
Donations for this project are still being accepted at www.mcrp.ca/donate/. There are also still various options for sponsorship by contacting the City of Martensville. For more information, visit mcrp.ca.
