I know my son was inspired to read more thanks to the Cougars visit to his school. Thanks guys for taking the time to do this. We will be at the game tonight thanks to you. Go Cougars Go
The Vancouver Giants are no strangers to the Read to Succeed program.
They along with sponsors BMO and Save on Foods have been supporting a Read to Succeed program in the Greater Vancouver area for the past 14 years. They attend 60 schools and work with approx. 14000 students.
This is a two week program that entails 15 minutes of reading and 30 minutes of physical exercise per week. At the end of a successful two week period the entire class receives tickets to a Vancouver Giants home game.
Must be a pretty successful program if it is still being run 14 years later.
Nothing says “Family Day” like fighting penalties, unsportsmanlike conduct penalties and toss in a few game misconduct penalties for good measure.
Here’s a crazy thought, play some damned hockey.
Every time the Cougars play the Giants it turns into a knuckle dragging Neanderthal show, and the Giants win with more experience in that dept.
