My name is Karsyn McManus and I am currently playing for the U18AA Sabres. Years ago my parents took me on a Christmas walk organized by the Helping Hamilton’s Homeless, donating food and essentials to the less fortunate through the streets of downtown Hamilton. It had such an impact on me. Making me realize just how lucky I was to not only to have the opportunities in life I’ve had (hockey, vacations, technology) but also just the basic necessities most of us take for granted like a bed to sleep on or food in the fridge or even socks to wear.
