This event - held for the first time in the southern hemisphere - helped Heart Children New Zealand kick of its Heart Kids Week 2009.
Pre-match entertainment included ice dancers. Half-time featured a Speed Chase Celebrity Challenge race around the ice rink. The match was followed by gala dinner and charity auction, raising nearly $20,000 for Heart Children. A big thanks to everyone who was there and gave so generously.
Watch out for what Howick Pakuranga comes up with for the event of 2010!
