The Lemont Spartans Hockey Club recently participated in a Toys for Tots drive, which was sponsored by the Plainfield Hockey Club. Junior varsity and varsity teams from both schools presented toys to members of the U.S. Marine Corps at Canlan Ice Sports Dec. 8. Between games, all four teams came out onto the ice, where each player presented an unwrapped toy as they skated up to the collection table and shook hands with three U.S. Marines.
Players ‘adopted’ a family in need and shopped for items on the family’s Christmas wish list.

For the past few years, the Lemont Spartans Hockey Club has worked with the Hope and Friendship Foundation to sponsor a family in need for the Christmas season – and this year was no different. The players met at Kohl’s in Lemont last week to shop for the items on the family’s Christmas wish list. Each Spartan player donated $20, as well as their time to shop for their adopted family. The boys also earned Kohl’s cash while shopping - and used it few days later to purchase gloves and hats to add to their contribution. Debbie Zaremski, whose son Tyler skated for the club in the past, helped coordinate the charitable event.
