The Collingwood Junior 'A' Blues celebrated Family Day with a win and a celebratory family skate after their game, featuring a special guest and Canadian figure-skating legend.
Elvis Stojko, who trained at the Mariposa School of Skating in Barrie, attended the Feb. 20 game and joined the Blues and their fans on the ice afterwards for a family skate.
The Collingwood Skating Club also participated in game day with performances between the second and third period. The Collingwood Optimist Club and Collingwood Blues presented a donation to the local skating club of $2,000 from money raised through the 50/50 raffle at Blues games.
The home team won 3-1 against the Caledon Admirals. There are four more Collingwood Blues home games (Feb. 24, and 25 and March 3 and 4) until the playoffs.
Stojko won silver in the men's singles event at the Winter Olympics in Lillehammer (1994) and Nagano (1998), as well as gold medals at the world championships in 1994, 1995 and 1997.
