“Sport offers tremendous learning opportunities whether you play the game or watch it from the stands,” comments Paul Rosen, a Life Literacy Ambassador and Family Literacy Day spokesperson. “I’ll be teaching fans a bit about sledge hockey and challenging lucky fans to take part in an on-ice competition.  It’s going to be a fun night of learning and growing together.”  

ABC Life Literacy Canada is pleased to be working with the OHL’s Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors, their fans and supporters as Family Literacy Day sharpens its message on the ice. Not only will fans in attendance at the January 27 game be treated to amazing hockey action, they may also have the chance to participate in:

·      a pre-game autograph session with Paralympic Gold Medalist Paul Rosen
·      the Family Literacy Day Colouring Contest station
·      the Robert Munsch book and poster giveaway (free while quantities last)
·      sampling of Applebee’s Neighbourhood Grill and Bar delicious treats (free while quantities last)

Entertaining trivia contests and intermission surprises are also in store with great prizing being awarded.

“We are delighted to be working with ABC Life Literacy Canada on this fun activation,” said Roger Lajoie, Executive Vice-President, Mississauga St. Michael’s Majors Hockey Club. “Our players and coaches are always teaching and learning from one another. Whether on a road trip, at a pre-game meal or on the ice, the learning never stops.  We want to help instill in them, and our fans, a love of learning in the everyday activities we do.  After all, the brain is like a muscle.  You have to keep it strong.”
