Hockey Broadcaster’s Heartwarming Challenge
Ottawa, ON – Colin Zappia is a full-time REALTOR® and since 2016, he’s been the Ottawa 67’s Rogers TV colour analyst offering an informative and entertaining break down of plays and stats. He was also the television host from 2007–2009. Hockey has always been a part of Colin’s life; his father, Tony Zappia, coached the Cornwall Royals in the 1980s.
After losing his father to a heart attack in 2007, Colin has found numerous ways of contributing to the University of Ottawa Heart Institute, where his father received care.
This year, he is donating $0.20 per save for every single game in the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) during the month of February. Each save a goalie makes equals a donation that will help to save lives.
“The total should be somewhere around the $1,500 mark,” says Colin. “This amount—along with any other donation—will be matched by generous corporate sponsors.”
In addition, Colin has pledged to donate $500 from each house bought or sold in February to the Heart Institute. It is one more way to honour his father and help other families.
