In response to the controversy surrounding
the Guinness World Record Hockey Game, the Espanola General
Hospital Foundation (EGHF) would like to clarify that the
opinions expressed by private citizens are not necessarily
those of this organization.
The EGHF, along with St. Joseph's Villa
Foundation, set out, in the spirit of friendly competition, to
raise funds for their respective organizations, 40 players,
from each community, committed their time and efforts for this
worthy cause.
The dedication by these 80 players is to be
commended and applauded. The efforts from each community are an
exemplary example of what Northern Ontario can accomplish and
should not be overshadowed by this controversy.
Both communities, players and volunteers, can
be extremely proud of their accomplishment. It was a tremendous
feat that was carried our successfully by Espanola and Sudbury.
Congratulations.
