After a very successful inaugural event, the Hockey Helps the Homeless (HHTH) Okanagan Region pro-am charity hockey tournament is back for a second year.
The event gives local players and teams a chance to play alongside some NHL alumni while raising money to support Boys and Girls Club (BCG) Okanagan's shelter diversion and Upstream Kelowna programs, which provide support and resources to youth in the area.
