Craig Spence Foundation aims to give back to youth
Craig Spence’s community legacy will continue.
A foundation has been set up to honour Craig Spence’s legacy as well as give back to the community. Funds raised towards the foundation will be used to impact lives of the youth of Chatham-Kent.
Spence died in April of this year in a collision on the 401 near London. Spence was a talented hockey player, playing for the Chatham Maroons and the Blenheim Blades. He was the Blades’ captain last season.
Spence was also known for his leadership off the ice.
The Craig Spence Foundation will sponsor power skating clinics on December 23 and 27. The sessions are for boys and girls from age six to 13. The sessions will be hosted by some of Chatham-Kent’s top hockey players including former professional players. The sessions will be held at Chatham Memorial Arena.
Registration opens at noon on December 1 at the Craig Spence Foundation Instagram page.
Participants taking part will also receive a free CS10 jersey. There will be four age groups taking part: age 6-7 (12:30-1 p.m.), age 8-9 (1-1:30 p.m.), age 10-11 (1:40-2:10 p.m.) and 12-13 (2:10-2:40 p.m.).
Sign up includes both days, with a maximum of 50 kids per age group. First come first served registration.
I would like to register my two grandsons for power skating on December 27, but I do not have Instagram. They are 9 & 12 years old and do play hockey. We also have a 7 year old grandson who is not a hockey player or good skater, but would like to improve so that he can play hockey. I don’t know if he would be eligible for this session. Please let me know if you have space for them. Thank you,
Wendy Milord
