Residents in Steinbach, Manitoba, can attend the city’s first annual charity hockey game on May 29, 2026, at the Southeast Event Centre. The game will feature a matchup between teams from local businesses LumberZone and Premier Portable Buildings to raise money and awareness for Safe Families Steinbach.
The event is designed to help the local non-profit provide temporary support and volunteer networks for families experiencing a crisis. This charitable initiative aims to bring the community together through sports to support the organization’s goal of preventing family breakdown.
Fans attending the game will see a pre-game draft that includes local athlete Ethan Unger and former professional hockey player Jeff Penner. This draft gives residents a chance to see familiar local sports figures and business leaders compete while supporting a community cause.
