Simon Whitfield and Scott Thorton to be at charity game in Bolton

Seventeen years ago, Canadian Simon Whitfield won the Gold Medal in the Triathlon at the Sydney Olympics.
Over his career, Whitfield went to four Olympics, won a silver in Beijing in 2008, a Gold at the 2002 Commonwealth Games and a silver at the ‘99 Pan American Games. With more than 50 major victories, he became one of the all time most successful Olympians in Canada’s history.
Whitfield will be inducted to the Canada Sports Hall of Fame in Toronto Nov. 9, before coming to Caledon for a Nov. 10 charity hockey game at the arena in Bolton. He will be joined by other Olympic athletes, local business people and retired NHL hockey stars like Scott Thornton, who played for several NHL teams, including Toronto Maple Leafs.
Barrie Shepley of C3 Running said the Nov. 10 game is free to everyone, but tickets must be picked up prior to the evening to ensure the event is not oversold. Get free tickets at either the North Hub Bike Shop at 55 Healy Rd. in Bolton or the Caledon Hills Bike Shop (in Inglewood). Tickets are also being distributed at a number of schools in Caledon.
Anyone in the arena will be eligible for great draw prizes throughout the night. Don’t miss this chance to meet some of top Olympians, NHL players for free in the local Bolton arena.
