Thanks to their determined efforts off the ice, the West Carleton Warriors have won the Chevrolet Good Deeds Cup and its $100,000 grand prize, which the team is dedicating to disaster relief in Dunrobin.

The official announcement was made during the second intermission of Saturday’s Hockey Night in Canada broadcast, but word of the team’s victory had leaked online earlier in the day.

The Warriors topped finalists from Saint John, N.B., and Lanaudière, Que., to claim the cup.

“The boys are pretty excited: they’re pretty fired up,” Sean Lecuyer, head coach of the peewee A Warriors, said in an interview Saturday.

“I’m proud of them. It’s nice to see that their hard work — and all their parents’ hard work — paid off for Dunrobin residents. It’s pretty fabulous.”

The prize money will all go to the West Carleton Disaster Relief organization, he said, and will be put toward tornado cleanup and recovery.
