Perrault's Hits Helping Off the Ice

The Estevan Bruins Hockey Club is proud to announce that they, together with Packers Plus Energy Services, have created a partnership with the youth moral building charity “IMPACT SOCIETY”.

For every hit that Bruins Defenseman #4 Dominic Perrault makes on the ice during Estevan Bruins Home Games,Packers Plus will donate $75.00 to the Impact Society. Perrault stands at 6’3 and has a huge presence on the ice,being a force for the Bruins as an extremely strong open ice hitter.

“The Impact Society is a charity that has programs which help teens to become filled with confidence, hope,character, respect, and passion instead of fear, anger, or apathy. The Impact Society is one of Canada’s national centres of excellence for strength-based community development. The organization offers the first and only nationwide experiential-learning program that turns teachers, students, parents, even whole companies and other partners into everyday HEROES.”

The Estevan Bruins and Packers Plus will be donating to The Impact Society’s main program, HEROES™ with all money raised going back into our community with the goal to build the HEROES™ program right here in Estevan.

The Impact Society’s HEROES™ program has been credited with helping thousands of youth develop healthy behaviours and turn around many who are at risk, reducing crime & property damage, preventing suicide, developing positive role models, and improving family communication.”

“I am honoured to have been chosen as the Impact on Ice player and to be a part of this valuable program” said Perrault, “This is the Estevan Bruins opportunity to contribute to all at-risk youth right here in Estevan!”.

This program has been running with the Calgary Flames since October, 2009 with defenseman Robyn Regehr donating $75.00 to the Impact Society for each hit he makes, and Packers Plus Energy Services matching the donation. In total, Regehr and Packers Plus have donated $7000 to the Impact Society. Robyn and his wife Kristina are Honorary Co-Chairs of the Impact Fund Development Committee.

Perrault’s hits will be announced during the game, and will be tallied at the end of each home game.
