Raiders raise over $16,000 total during Super Hero Night

With the community of Prince Albert feeling like it needed a win, the Prince Albert Raiders provided that win on Monday night with a 8-0 routing of the Swift Current Broncos. On top of the game though, the Raiders had two major fundraisers that night which raised a bunch of money and brought in a ton of warm clothing for those in need.

As part of a league initiative with Re/Max, the Raiders donned special Super Hero themed jerseys that were auctioned off in support of the Children’s Miracle Network and the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital, but the Raiders also put together a quick support effort to the Salvation Army in Prince Albert by collecting clothing donations and donating a quarter of the night’s 50/50, coming out of the Raiders half, towards Salvation Army.

In total, the Raiders filled an entire bus with warm clothing along with a $8,587 donation to the Salvation Army. According to Business Manager Mike Scissons, the Raiders hit a similar number on their jersey auction.

“That’s going to be a very similar number as well there, we’re just over $8,500 that we’ll be also donating to the Children’s Miracle Network, which also then gets passed along the Jim Pattison Children’s Hospital. We were happy to participate in a very unique way. It was a fun night overall for our guys to participate in and the big win helps a whole lot, but once again our fans stepped up and and made donations to a worthy cause,” Scissons said.

When it comes to putting the Salvation Army fundraiser together, the fundraiser came together quickly. With a few quick calls to volunteers and partners with the city, the Raiders had the assets in place to take those donations quickly.

“It was an idea that came after the devastating fire, and you know what we could do is probably having the most people attend an event shortly thereafter. Things moved pretty quickly, but we want to thank the City of PA for bringing a PA Transit bus to our game in order for us to allow our fans to fill it, and they they did exactly that. I know all those items will go to good use by those in need over these over these winter months. It’s been terribly cold and so getting those items in those people’s hands is important.”

When it comes to seeing tough times like this hit the community, Scissons is proud of the impact the Raiders organization can have. With so many fans coming together to watch a game for the first time since Christmas, and the last time of 2025, it made sense to bring in these two fundraisers together to support a community that always supports the Raiders in return.

“You look for the positives no matter where you go after something like that happens and devastates everybody in the community and rocks it a little bit. The guys came together were playing some great hockey and to see 2,800 fans show up last night and supporter guys and see that win and have some good times associated with unfortunately the troubles that have been happening with the Salvation Army lately, it was a good thing to feel all around even for us.”

The Raiders play their next game on Friday when they welcome the Regina Pats.
