Mackenzie, Madison and Carolyn Berg presented a $6,000 cheque to Peter Flynn, president of the Niagara-on-the-Lake Wolves Minor Hockey Association last week. The funds were raised at the second annual James Berg Memorial Hockey Tournament held in Virgil on December 23.

The Berg family thanks the players, volunteers, referees and those from the community who made donations to the tournament, as well as Enns Wash and Shine for donating the food for the barbecue.

A total of $8,000 was raised through the one day tournament. Further proceeds will go toward the James Berg Memorial Scholarship for a Wolves U18 player in their final year of high school heading to post-secondary studies. Applications for the scholarship and eligibility requirements will be available from the coaches of the Wolves U18 teams soon.
