Calling All Woodstock Navy Vets Alumni and Fans!

We're asking for your help in creating a spectacular display celebrating 60 years of Woodstock Navy Vets hockey!

For six decades, the Woodstock Navy Vets have proudly been part of the Dairy Capital of Canada, a community known for its warmth and friendliness.

To mark this incredible milestone, we're partnering with the Woodstock Museum National Historic Site to create a special exhibit in the Community Collections Room.

We're looking to borrow Navy Vets memorabilia of all kinds, including vintage hockey equipment, jerseys, trophies, programs, photographs, newspaper clippings, championship keepsakes, and any other artifacts that help tell the story of our team.

Our goal is to create an exhibit that will inspire memories, celebrate our rich history, and wow everyone who visits. All items will be carefully cared for and returned to their owners once the exhibit concludes.

If you have memorabilia you'd be willing to loan, or know someone who does, please contact Jim Taylor, Blair Nessjack, or Karen Schneider. Reach out today!
