In the Community

Building Connections On and Off the Ice

The Dundas Real McCoys have always believed that hockey is more than a game. For 25 years, the team has been proud to give back to the community that supports them, fostering connections that extend far beyond the rink.

Supporting Local Traditions

The Real McCoys are active participants in the Dundas Cactus Festival, helping raise funds through initiatives like the “Toonies for Tunes” program. Their involvement celebrates local culture and brings fans together to support a cherished annual event.

Charitable Initiatives

The team is committed to making a difference through charitable giving. In December 2024, the Real McCoys offered free admission to a home game in exchange for donations supporting Keaton’s House, a children’s hospice in Dundas. This initiative reflects the team’s dedication to causes that matter to the local community.

Annual Drives and Special Events

Each year, the Real McCoys host initiatives such as the Teddy Bear Toss and Salvation Army food drives, collecting toys and non-perishable goods for families in need. These events combine the excitement of game night with meaningful opportunities to give back, creating lasting memories for fans of all ages.

A Commitment to Community

From supporting local festivals to charitable initiatives, the Dundas Real McCoys remain deeply invested in the community. Their presence in Dundas is about more than hockey; it’s about nurturing pride, participation, and a sense of belonging for everyone connected to the team.
