Langley junior hockey team to hold benefit event for L.A. fire victims

The Vancouver Giants, a junior hockey team based in Langley, are set to host an event to help people impacted by the L.A. wildfires.

Proceeds from ‘Chuck-a-Puck’ will go directly to Home Bank L.A., which helps bring furniture to people who need it most.

The event will take place during the second intermission of Friday’s game against the Tri-City Americans at the Langley Events Centre.

Pucks can be purchased in groups of three for $10, and the person who throws their numbered puck closest to a target in the rink wins a prize.

Home Bank L.A. is a branch of the non-profit A Sense of Home. Giants co-owner Drew Scott is a member of their board of directors.

“I’m grateful to the Vancouver Giants and my hometown community for their help in supporting the immediate needs of those impacted by the devastating wildfires in Los Angeles,” Scott said.
