Edmonton — An annual fundraising hockey game took on a new look this weekend.

The 24-hour Matt Cook charity game wrapped up on Saturday.

The event, which is normally held on ice indoors, was moved to an outdoor venue in north Edmonton due to COVID-19.

The game raises money for the foundation established in the name of Matt Cook, a former junior hockey, and Team Canada sledge hockey player who died of cancer in 2010 at the age of 22.
