DANVILLE -- The big game is Sunday, but this town's already had its "Souperbowl." Instead of football players, there were hockey players. This "Souperbowl" is about the kind you eat.

The Danville Dashers Hockey Team came to show its support. It's a fundraiser for Habitat for Humanity at the First Presbyterian Church. More than 300 hundred people showed up including City Councilman Bill Black.

He says, "We're trying to raise $50,000 for our build, our 50th house, and the money will go to that."

Black says proceeds hit $4,000. Habitat for Humanity hopes to have the home finished by spring.
