“We are so proud of hometown hockey inspiration Nic Hague! The entire community watched with great pride and excitement as the Golden Knights won the Stanley Cup™ Championship,” said Mayor Berry Vrbanovic, “Nic reminds all of us to never give up on our childhood dreams and that with hard work and determination, anything is possible.” 

Fans will have an opportunity to meet Vegas Golden Knights defenceman, Nic Hague, to get an autograph and have their picture taken with the Stanley Cup™. Bring the whole family to enjoy interactive outdoor hockey activities and a BBQ with all proceeds in support of the Kitchener Minor Hockey Association.
