HKMB brokers held its 2nd annual HKMB Hockey Challenge on Feb. 16, 2007, at Ricoh Coliseum in Toronto. About 30 skaters took to the ice, representing a broad cross-section of industry “players” – including insurance companies, brokers, adjusters and suppliers. The event ended with a 50/50 draw and a raffle for memorabilia such as an autographed Toronto Maple Leaf hockey stick, a Toronto Raptors basketball jersey and other prize items. Proceeds from the event were donated to the United Way of Canada. The verbal ‘highlight reels’ could be heard when the gang all joined at Shoeless Joe’s after the game.
