Joey MacDonald Jersey to be Raised at Hector Stadium
Pictou Minor Hockey Association and Weeks Hockey Organization will pay tribute to Pictou native Joey MacDonald on Tuesday February 23rd with Joey’s jersey being raised to roof at Hector Stadium. There will be an opening ceremony followed by the Weeks Junior A Crushers hosting the Amherst Ramblers for their final regular season home game as a makeup of the January 3rd game that was cancelled due to weather. A portion of the gate will be donated back to the Pictou Minor Hockey Association.
Joey began his hockey career in Pictou as a player with the Pictou Minor Hockey Association. He progressed to the Pictou County Minor Hockey system in Pee Wee and continued his development in Pictou County in the Bantam and Midget ranks. After his Major Junior hockey career Joey was signed by the Detroit Red Wings. He spent time in the East Coast Hockey League and the American Hockey League before ultimately making his debut in the National Hockey League with the Detroit Red Wings on October 19th, 2006. Joey is currently a member of the Toronto Maple Leafs organization and has divided his 2009-2010 season between the Toronto Maple Leafs and the Toronto Marlies.
“I am honored to have my jersey recognized by the Pictou Minor Hockey Association and the Weeks Hockey Organization. Both of these organizations played an important role in my early hockey development and ultimately in my ability to make it to the highest level. I want to thank my family, friends, coaches and the Pictou County hockey community for all their support over the years. Although I will not be able to be home for the game I’m hoping everyone will come out to support the Crushers and help raise some much needs funding for Pictou Minor Hockey.”
Wade Taylor, President of the Weeks Junior A Crushers states “We are extremely pleased to be part of honoring Joey and it will mark the first time in our six year history where we will be playing a home game outside of the New Glasgow Stadium. Joey is an alumnus of our Weeks Major Midgets and is a great ambassador of our programs so it is a no brainer for our organization to jump in and be part of this special night and partner with Pictou Minor Hockey Association”.
Game time will be 7:30 with tickets sold at the door for adults $8 and students/seniors $6. Crushers season ticket holder and corporate sponsors tickets will be honored for this game and it will be a great opportunity to view the final home game prior to playoffs which will begin the first week of March.
