The Moore Family and the Cochrane Chaos junior female hockey team believe it's important to keep an open dialogue on suicide prevention.

Today, Saturday, Jan. 18, the Chaos is holding its 3rd annual Owen Moore Memorial Game at 2 p.m. in Totem One of the SLS Family Sports Centre.

In 2017, Owen Moore committed suicide. His sisters, Tara and Kelly were inaugural members of the Chaos.

Head coach Derek Loomer knew the family well, having coached Owen's sisters in both minor hockey and with the Chaos.

"As we went through that year, we came up with the idea to remember Owen and to help support mental health and suicide prevention at one of our games," he says.

"It's really to raise awareness for mental health and suicide and the impact that they have, and how to be aware of those symptoms in Canada or around the world with your friends and family.

Owen's parents Betty and Randy Moore will be speaking before a ceremonial puck drop.

There will also be suicide prevention information available and donations collected.

Loomer says those unable to attend who want to show support can still contribute.

"Those who want to contribute can certainly reach out, mention the Chaos, and make donations to support this important cause."

The game was first held outdoors in Springbank. This year's game was also scheduled to be held outdoors but was moved to Totem One due to the extreme cold.

The game is an important rematch between the Chaos and their long-time rivals, the Central Alberta Amazons.

The Chaos hope to get redemption from an overtime loss to the Amazons in December.

The Chaos split a pair on the road last weekend. They beat the Sherwood Park Steele, the top team in the north division of the Alberta Junior Female Hockey League, in overtime. They didn't play with the same intensity in a 5-3 loss to the Fort Saskatchewan Fury the next day.
