These Guys Will Play Hockey For Food. Literally. E-mail

We all have our off-season rituals.  I, for one, like to spend the time between the End of Everything (that happened last Wednesday night on the off chance your Mayan calendar is off) and that glorious October morn where all is once again right and pure and unicorn-y in the Hockey Universe by reacquainting myself spending time with Beloved, mainlining sirloin steak and setting off the sprinkler system on the llama farm up the road for shits and giggles (Look Ma!  They's pre-shrunked!).  Others choose rather more wholesome and rewarding activities.  Like these guys.

Five Hole For Food started as a hockey trip across Canada but then road hockey enthusiast, and pilot of the trip Richard Loat, thought that it could be so much more. The concept of incorporating some sort of charity to benefit local communities led to a discussion with Winnipeg game host Jimmy Mac who coined the phrase “Five Hole for Food”. From there it has evolved into a social media effort of networks and partners to create a cross country food drive where hockey fans play a variation of the game and the local community benefits.

They'll be in Ottawa rockin' Bluegrass Park, Kanata on the 30th of June, stop number two on their ten day, nine city odyssey, where they will be hosted by none other than the wily and elusive Peter Raaymakers of Silver Seven Sens fame whose mad road hockey skillz will make Puck Bunnies swoon and cause grown men to weep.  Or so I'm told.  And they'll be happy to take any and all non-perishable items for the benefit of the Ottawa Food Bank.  Oh, and cash is pretty good too.

So waddya say, Ottawa?  Come on out and support some crazy kids, have some fun and score some Ottawa 67's swag, all while supporting a truly noble cause.  Someday, Dion Phaneuf will thank you.

Listen, I didn't want to brag, but it's true... Women swoon, men weep. It's just what happens.

Anyway, FHfF is going to be a lot of fun. Hoping to see lots of folks out there to support us!

@Pete: If this works out the way it should, we should talk about my idea of establishing a foundation to buy Brian Burke a real haircut.
