The annual Sam’s Jam Memorial Street Hockey Tournament drew the usual large crowds over the weekend in the Admiral’s Academy parking lot in CBS.
Tournament Chair and local MP Paul Connors says the event has been held in memory of six year old Sam Porter who passed away at a swimming hole in Seal Cove back in 2022.
He told VOCM Open Line with guest host Darrin Bent that people are even starting to plan their summer vacations around the annual fundraiser.
He describes it as a competitive event, but with an atmosphere of friendship, support and community. “It’s something you can feel…it’s really impossible to try to put it into words.”
The event raised money for Sammy’s Climb Higher Foundation allowing children to access a variety of sporting activities, despite the cost.
