A recent hockey game in Vulcan helped out a Claresholm couple whose 16-month-old son was diagnosed with liver cancer last August.
The Bisons hockey organization held its annual fundraiser at the game for the Peddle family’s 16-month-old son Isaac. The Bisons and the Wheatland Chiefs combined for 16 goals at the Vulcan Iceplex, 11 of them scored by the Chiefs. The amount of money raised was not known by press time.
Last month, Isaac underwent an operation to remove the tumors. "They're pretty confident that they got it all," said Max, adding the family is waiting on tests to make sure the cancer is gone from his son's liver.
The fundraiser included Calgary Flames tickets, jerseys, artwork and other silent auction items, as well as a 50/50 draw and door prizes.
"It's just so wonderful that another community would do this," said Max.
