Survivor Game — Saturday 6/22 – ?:00 pm – East Rink— Don’t Miss It!
Last year’s Dawg Bowl Survivor Game was played in honor of the Humboldt Broncos, a Canadian junior hockey team playing in the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League.
Our Survivor Game is the highlight of the entire tournament and is made up of hockey players who have suffered traumatic injury or illness and have come together to share not only a love of the game but also support one another and share their own experiences. Their stories are ones of struggle, courage and support. Meet the Survivors
We offer our unwavering support to the Humboldt Broncos survivors while also honoring those lost. As a tribute to the Broncos, all of the survivors in the Survivor Game will wear Humboldt jerseys. The game this year is set for Saturday at 3:00 p.m. Summit County’s Dave Repsher will be dropping the ceremonial first puck as he will be on hand to inspire us all!
The Humboldt Broncos survivors are:
Graysen Cameron, Brayden Camrud, Kaleb Dahlgren, Bryce Fiske, Morgan Gobeil, Matthieu Gomercic, Xavier Labelle, Layne Matechuk, Derek Patter, Nick Shumlanski, Tyler Smith, Ryan Straschnitzki, and Jacob Wasserman.
And we remember those lost:
Tyler Beiber, Logan Boulet, Dayna Brons, Mark Cross, Glen Doerksen, Darcy Haugan, Adam Herold, Brody Hinz, Logan Hunter, Jaxon Joseph, Jacob Leicht, Connor Lukan, Logan Schatz, Evan Thomas, Parker Tobin, and Stephan Wack.
