The Kanata Blazers & The Alberton PEE Wees

Kids can change the world! Two amazing hockey teams – The Kanata Blazers from Ottawa and The Alberton Pee Wees from P.E.I. were both nominated for the Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup. The Kanata Blazers decided to help Jonathan Pitre who is affected by Epidermolysis Bullosa and his charity DEBRA Canada.

When the Alberton team heard about Patient Ambassador Jonathan Pitre thru the Blazers, they decided they wanted to help too. Both teams raised a large amount of money for our charity through their fundraising efforts and helped raise EB Awareness across the country. DEBRA Canada would like to thank all the wonderful kids and coaches for all their hard work and dedication to our cause. You are truly making a difference!
