Lawn Bowling Brampton Beast Hockey Style !

Lawn Bowling Brampton Beast Hockey Style was a tremendous success by all accounts.

The Brampton Lawn Bowling Club extends its thanks to the Brampton Beast Pro Hockey Club, our tremendous community partners for a terrific fun event at last Sunday's home game.

Club members enjoyed all the hockey action as Beast supporters.  Many Beast hockey fans stopped by the Club's booth in the concourse to learn about the sport of lawn bowling and see how to hold a lawn bowl.  The Club looks forward to welcoming everyone at our Open House and Free Trial on May 2-4, 2015.

The highlight of the afternoon was a lawn bowling demonstration at centre ice during the second intermission. Carpets were rolled onto the ice and Club members bowled for all to see.  A friendly competition was held with members of the audience to see who could roll the bowls into a mini hockey net.  Great fun indeed !
