Jason Holland
On Saturday, November 16th we honoured Jason Holland as our first inductee into the Hockey Walk of Fame!
This is the first of several inductees that we have planned to recognize in our Hockey Walk of Fame which will celebrate our local hockey heroes on their achievements! Jason’s banner will be hoisted into the rafters of the new arena.
