Charity on the Rink – The Flying Fathers
0:00
In 1963, Father Les Costello of North Bay, Ontario, was looking to help raise funds for a local man who lost an eye. As a former Stanley Cup Champion with the Toronto Maple Leafs, Father Costello gathered a group of priests to play a charity hockey game, and it was at that moment, the Flying Fathers were born. Today the team continues this legacy with a new generation of priests, many of whom are Brother Knights. They provide an opportunity for families to enjoy a fun event that raises awareness for vocations to the priesthood.
