No ice? All good. We can still gear up for the families at RMHC.
Perform feats of strength, artistry and exploration to raise funds and support for the families at RMHC. Share some laughs and do some good at the same time!

For each checkpoint, you pick from any of the activities below OR you can make up your own. We only ask that whatever you do is family friendly, and safe for participants, hockey gear and anyone else involved.
As to the “feats” listed below - think of as more what you’d call “guidelines” than actual rules. You know your friends and family best. What would THEY want to SEE YOU DO?
As to the “dates” listed below - you can also think of these as guidelines too. We’re primarily using these dates to group feats together. That way, we can create highlight videos to showcase the great stuff YOU are doing to support the families at RMHC!
Show off your skills. Share some laughs. Do some good.
