On APRIL 21st, 2008, HKMB HUB held its 3rd annual Hockey Challenge for Charity game held at Toronto's Air Canada Centre.

In 2006, after some of my colleagues in the Insurance Industry chose to pit their hockey skills against one another for fun, HKMB organized their first Hockey Challenge for Charity game. With the support of the Insurance Industry, we were able to lay the foundation for what some consider to be the premier Insurance Hockey Event in the City of Toronto!

Last year our humble event held at the RICOH Coliseum, raised over $2,000 in support of the United Way of Greater Toronto. The event exceeded all expectations; we had prizes and a reception that followed for the players and the spectators; not to mention some great prizes donated on behalf of MLSE themselves! Some of our first sponsors were C.N.A., Crawford Adjusters, ING, Royal and SunAlliance, The Guarantee Company of North America, Aviva, AIG, Chubb, Discount Car & Truck and HKMB.

We have also joined forces with Women in Insurance Cancer Crusade (WICC) to be a part of our event. Cancer, in its various forms, has touched all of lives in one way or another and we want to help in WICCs initiative to mobilize for a cure.

Already this year we have surpassed our goal of sponsorship and corporate donations. We have taken our game to the next level!! We have decided to contribute all proceeds to two great causes in WICC and the United Way in continuing to be part of their amazing work helping those less fortunate than ourselves.
