What an incredible day!

Now that another Flyers Cup is in the books, we want to take the opportunity to recognize the businesses, sponsors, prize donors and people who helped make this tournament possible.

This tournament is about much more than a day of golf. It is a fundraiser for Sackville Minor Hockey, and the support we receive from our local business community plays a huge part in its success.

A very special thank-you to our two $10,000 Hole-in-One Sponsors:

? AND SO MANY PEOPLE BEHIND THE SCENES

 

A very special thank-you to Sobeys, 752 Sackville Drive, for their tremendous support of our tournament meal and for helping us provide the quality and quantity of food we wanted for our golfers.

 

Thank you to Lost Creek Golf Club, including Blake, Dee and the entire staff, for once again welcoming us and helping us put on such a great event.

 

Thank you to Lenny Zappia of EMC, who returned as our MC and once again did an outstanding job — and also generously provided coolers of ice-cold water for our golfers.

 

Thank you to Jon Cyr and Cyrius Designs for helping us make sure our sponsors received the recognition they deserved through all of our tournament signage.

 

Thank you to Kelly and Johnny MacAskill for taking on the enormous job of cooking for everyone and helping us serve an incredible meal.

 

And thank you to Tara, who took care of receiving the tournament payments and helped keep everything organized leading up to the event.

Thank you to Rob Nurnber, our president, for support with prizes and sponsors. 

And a very special thank-you to Deanne, who took on the enormous job of managing so much of what happened behind the scenes. From organizing and coordinating the meal and the people helping with it, to the prizes and tables, setting up the celebration area and speakers, helping with photos and videos, assisting with the Bee Quick Putting Challenge and taking care of countless other jobs throughout the day — Deanne helped keep everything moving and made sure so many of the details came together. ??

 

Most importantly, THANK YOU TO OUR GOLFERS! ??‍??

 

You filled the tournament, supported the event, supported our sponsors and made the day what it was.

 

?? Now we’re asking everyone in the Sackville Minor Hockey community to return that support.

 

When you need a restaurant, tradesperson, professional service, sporting goods, health and wellness services, or somewhere to shop, please remember the businesses listed above.

 

These are businesses that said YES when Sackville Minor Hockey came asking for support.

 

The best thank-you we can give them is to support the businesses that support our kids and our community.

 

Please share this post, remember these names and, whenever possible, SHOP LOCAL AND SUPPORT OUR FLYERS CUP SPONSORS AND DONORS! ????

 

From everyone involved with the 2026 SMH Flyers Cup — THANK YOU!
