The puck drops at 7:10 p.m. tomorrow at the third annual Humber Challenge Cup for charity, just north of Orangeville Campus.

The game at the Grand Valley District Community Centre features the Humber College Staff Stars facing off against the Dufferin County Staff Stars.

Tickets are a loonie for children under 12 and $2 adults.

All proceeds go to the Orangeville Food Bank and the Axces Zone Youth Centre.

“When food stays in the community for the community, it is a wonderful thing,” said the food bank’s Diane Ellis. “As the Orangeville campus establishes itself and grows, inevitably there will be more students in need of food.”

The Axces Zone is a drop in centre for youths to hang out, play pool, foosball and other activities.

There are 125 students enrolled in all disciplines at Orangeville Campus with plans to grow from 200 in the fall of 2009 to 450 for the fall of 2011.

Joe Andrews, director of Orangeville Campus, said the charity hockey game was part of Humber’s early commitment to the area.

“It was important for Orangeville campus to get involved with community initiatives,” said Andrews, who plays on the Humber team and founded the event with Dan Best, director of Community Services for Dufferin.
The series is tied at one win apiece after two previous matches.

“This is the rubber match,” said Best, refusing to make a prediction on the outcome. “I will leave my comments for the ice.”
