Admirals raise $6,100 for “Brave Brock” By Ron Giofu The town’s Jr. C hockey club has its share of fans and showed Dec. 29 they are also fans of a local boy battling cancer. The Integrity Amherstburg Admirals hosted “Brave Brock Night” prior to their game with the Wallaceburg Thunderhawks at the Libro Centre. The hockey club’s efforts saw approximately $6,100 be raised with proceeds to benefit ten-year-old Brock Hasson, an Amherstburg Public School student who is once again battling Embryonal Rhabdomyosarcoma. It is the third time he has battled the rare form of cancer in his young life. The Admirals worked with partners including the Windsor Police Service – Amherstburg Detachment, Integrity Tool and Mold, General Amherst High School, Amherstburg Buick GMC, the Windsor Spitfires and the Thunderhawks to help raise the funds. Brock’s older brother Liam dropped the puck for the ceremonial faceoff prior to the game. Admirals co-owner Wes Ewer said there were “a million reasons” the team put on the event, adding co-owners Matt Fox and Gaspare Spada immediately got on board with the idea when he brought it to them. He noted he saw how the community was pulling together for Brock and his family and wanted to assist as well. Ewer noted he organizes a charity hockey game with friends every holiday season and that proceeds this year went to the Hasson family. From that, the idea was hatched to also include the Admirals as part of the fundraising efforts. That charity game raised $900 of the $6,100 total. “We decided to do this for Brock,” said Ewer, adding the town donated an hour of ice time for the public skate before the game and Integrity Tool and Mold stepped up with a $1,500 donation. Officers with the Windsor Police Service – Amherstburg Detachment donated $440, Proto Plastics kicked in $1,000 while other businesses and groups donated
