Mississauga Steelheads Hockey Club and Canada Damien Haveliwalla

Mississauga Steelheads: The event is organized in conjunction with Lifeline Syria, a Toronto-based initiative that engages the community with refugees restarting in Canada, according to CTV. Damien Haveliwalla, an intern for the sales and sponsorship department with the Mississauga Steelheads Hockey Club, initiated the idea for the collaborative event. The Mississauga Steelheads have invited over 500 newly-immigrated Syrian families and the volunteers that have helped them transition to the Hershey Centre on Friday night for their game against the Peterborough Petes. I reached out to Lifeline Syria and asked if we could do something with them so we could be a part of welcoming refugees to Canada, he said. Haveliwalla said that 520 tickets have been handed out by Lifeline Syria and they expect the same number to turn out for the game tonight. We thought hockey would be a great way to do it.
