Student – Teacher Benefit Hockey Game raises just under $12,000

Funds intended for two students from YRHS and SHHS.

YORKTON – The 34th annual Student – Teacher Benefit Hockey Game was held at Westland Arena on April 5.

The match featured 16 student players from Sacred Heart High School and the Yorkton Regional High School up against 17 teachers as well as referees from both groups.

"This year we had two students that we were supporting," said Rhett Reeve, Student Support Teacher at the YRHS, in an interview with Yorkton This Week, noting Lilly Hartman from SHHS and Lois Narido from the YRHS would be the beneficiaries of the raised funds.

Reeve said Hartman was born with Spina Bifida and Narido was recently diagoned with Lupus.

Reeve noted the funds will be helping with some of the different supports the students need as a result of their illnesses and disabilities and said the funds would be split down the middle for the pair.

"We're still anticipating some to come in but as of right now we were just shy of $12,000," said Reeve in regard to the funds raised.

"This is the first year we've had it since I want to say 2019–pre-COVID was the last one," said Reeve of the match that saw the teachers win.

"We were very happy with the turnout–there was a bit more people there than we were expecting," said Reeve, adding, "we were more than pleased with the attendance and the support from the community was awesome."
