Where the money goes
The clinic directs funds to the Guelph Storm Adopt‑A‑School program, which recognises elementary school students across Wellington County for classroom achievement, extracurricular work and volunteerism. Proceeds from last year’s event totalled $6,815 for the program.
"One hundred percent of the proceeds will go to the Guelph Storm Adopt‑A‑School Program!"
The Adopt‑A‑School initiative provides rewards and incentives and, in many cases, gives local children the opportunity to attend their first hockey game. Organizers say the clinic is open to the public, and attendees can expect to meet the Storm mascot Spyke and obtain autographs from players.
Practical notes for attendees
Organizers ask visitors to bring cash for payment and to note the two‑per‑person limit on mouthguards. The event is presented as a drop‑in clinic; there is no advance booking noted. For updates and possible changes to the schedule or line‑up, the Guelph Storm suggests following their social channels and using the team app.
This annual partnership between a local dental practice and the WHL club continues to combine community health promotion with youth programming funding, giving residents a low‑cost option for protective sports gear while supporting school recognition and access to live games for children across Wellington County.
