The Casselman Vikings brought both heart and intensity to the ice during their Hockey Fights Cancer Night, held Sunday evening at the JR Brisson Complex.
Supporters were invited to “paint the arena purple” during the 7:30 p.m. matchup against the Ottawa West Golden Knights, helping raise awareness and funds for a cause close to the organization.
All proceeds from the evening’s 50/50 draw were donated to the AJ Plant Commemorative Fund. Plant, who served as the Vikings’ goalie coach for six years, helped guide the team to five championships and left a lasting impact on players, staff, and the community. The fund supports initiatives that reflect his spirit, leadership, and courageous battle with cancer.
The Vikings capped off the night with a dramatic 5–3 victory, scoring three goals in the final three minutes. Fans packed the stands, bringing energy that players and staff said made a meaningful difference on and off the ice.
In total, the event raised $1,000 for the AJ Plant Commemorative Fund.
The team offered its thanks to everyone who attended, emphasizing that the strong community turnout contributed directly to the night’s success.
“You made it count. Together, we’re proving we can make a big difference”, the Vikings stated.
