“Hockey Night in Brampton will include a sold-out crowd of over 4000 fans, a star-studded lineup, a fun atmosphere, and will raise money for a great cause! I cannot wait to see you all at Hockey Night in Brampton,” says Mayor Brown.

This year’s game will feature a headlining lineup of locally-grown and locally-trained talent.

Hockey Night in Brampton is supporting the Cardiology Program at Brampton Civic Hospital, through the William Osler Health System Foundation.

“Many people don’t know that 100 per cent of the equipment within a hospital is funded by the community. That’s what makes events like Hockey Night in Brampton so important. We are immensely grateful to Mayor Brown for hosting this exciting event in support of Brampton Civic; Community support enables our physicians and staff simply to perform the life-saving work they do every day,” says President and CEO of William Osler Health System Foundation Ken Mayhew.
