Sports & Recreation Gord Sleivert Memorial game raises $2,300 for local family Game Highlights: After several scoreless minutes, Aron Swanton scored short-side on Darren Fogarty to give the home team Stick Magnets an early lead. Swanton and Rich D’Appolonia traded goals advancing the Stick Magnets to a 2-1 lead. Intermission provided an opportunity for the Benchwarmers’ coaches to express their displeasure with their team’s effort in the first half. This proved to be the turning point: the Benchwarmers came out flying and goals by Dave Kendall, Kevin Ryan and Mike Craig took a 4-2 lead. Exceptional mention goes to Stick Magnets’ goaltender Bill Greenhough who
made countless spectacular saves. After taking a 6-3 lead, it was Fogarty’s turn to put on a goaltending display. In reaction to the Benchwarmers’ undisciplined play, Fogarty was called upon to stop four penalty shots in a row. The final two penalty shots were taken at the same time. In the face of this adversity and Kevin Berger’s flying glove, Fogarty made both saves to preserve the Benchwarmers’ 6-3 victory. This great event for a worthwhile cause was made possible by the fans in attendance, the efforts of the volunteers, the organizers and sponsors. Submitted by Donna Perman

On Saturday, Feb. 23, the Sooke Minor Hockey Association played a coaches-only fund-raising hockey game. The coaches were divided into two teams: The Benchwarmers (visitors) and the Stick Magnets (home). Each coach who played donated $20, and the referees volunteered their time as well. “We’re keeping it calm tonight,” said Darren Fogarty, the association President, “No slap-shots. We all have to work the next day so we want to keep it fun. No penalties, there’s going to be penalty shots instead.”
The fund-raising coaches-only hockey game has been renamed in honour of Gord Sleivert. “As most of the community knows, Gord was a member with the Sooke Minor Hockey as a coach, a mentor, [and he was] active as president three years ago, so we’ve changed the name to the Gord Sleivert Memorial. That way, we’re going to remember his name for years to come,” said Fogarty. The final score was 6 - 3 for the Benchwarmers, the “visiting” team. The fund-raising game also raised more than $2,300. All proceeds to go to a local Sooke family. With notes from Donna Perman
