Bradley Haslam

He may be gone, but he is far from forgotten and hockey players will be gearing up for the Spirit of Bradley Haslam Hockey Day in Lumby next weekend.

Games will be played at Pat Duke Memorial Arena, 2270 Shields St., for 12 consecutive hours on Saturday, Dec. 8.

Players must be 19 and older with funds raised from the event going back to the community and honouring those who love Lumby, hockey and their hockey community.

Participants are asked to raise $150 each to benefit Threads of Life, which provides support to families of workplace tragedies, the cardiac unit at Vernon Jubilee Hospital in memory of Peter Catt and Norm Roine and the Vernon branch of the Canadian Mental Health Association.

Silent auction items are also being accepted.

Anyone interested in donating, taking part or volunteering are asked to email Kevin Porteous at

Haslam died tragically in an industrial accident in June 2013 at the age of 18.
