The family of a 20-year-old Manitoban hockey player who suffered a life-altering injury during a game last November, has taken on an unique fundraising effort to help him.
It’s called “Braden’s House,” a three-month labour project dedicated to raising funds for Braden Pettinger.
Pettinger was playing for the Portage Terriers when he crashed head-on into the boards during a game on Nov.12. He crushed his C5 verterbrae in his neck and was paralyzed from the chest down. He remains in hospital undergoing occupational therapy.

For the past three months his cousin and extended family have been building a home they are now selling, which is located in Elgin, Man. The house is listed for $107,500.
The family started building the 250-square-foot open-concept house in March and it’s now on the market. It has three bedrooms and two bathrooms.
All money raised will go to help fund the 20-year-old’s recovery.
