Hockey Night for a Cause
Blades Pass the Bucket is a feel-good fundraiser that combines the energy of a Saskatoon Blades hockey game with the generosity of fans—and all for a great cause. Each year, the POW City Kinsmen join forces with the Blades and thousands of spectators to raise money for Telemiracle, Saskatchewan’s beloved annual telethon.
How It Works
During a regular season Blades home game, Kinsmen members hit the stands in force during the second period break. With buckets in hand, they pass them down each row, inviting fans to donate whatever they can. Coins, bills—everything adds up when a crowd comes together.
The fundraising momentum doesn’t stop there. As a proud part of Telemiracle traditions, Telemiracle Teddy often makes a special appearance, adding a heartwarming reminder of who these donations help: children, families, and individuals across Saskatchewan who rely on the support Telemiracle provides.

It’s one of the most straightforward fundraisers the POW City Kinsmen participate in, but it makes a big difference every year.
This event proves that even small gestures—like tossing change into a bucket—can lead to meaningful change.
