Winter Classy Charity Hockey Game To Benefit The Children’s Miracle Network Friday In Fraser

When Karen Newman asks you to participate in a charity hockey game, you ask her where and when. It's really as simple as that. Well, she called me last week and asked if I'd get involved in a game to be played at Fraser on Friday, December, 8th. Of course, I said YES.

The Winter Classy started roughly 9-10 years ago along with a few friends. According to co-creator Doug Ross "For the first couple of years, the money was going to individuals that could have benefitted from some help.  In the past few years, we have been donating to larger organizations. This year we are partnering with Karen and the Beaumont Children's Hospital, along with the Children's Miracle Network."

As far as the game is concerned, there will be stuff for the entire family. "During the game, we typically have a silent auction, 50/50, and this year we will be doing a teddy bear toss, and the bears will be donated along with the money we raise this year."

I hope to see you there. You can get your tickets here.

The Detroit Red Wings alumni took on the Westland Wild Wings last Friday, led by team captain, mayor Bill Wild. Even though the good guys - the Wild Wings - lost 7-3, it was a great event that brought in money for the Mike Modano Ice Arena.

Here's a photo gallery of some of the action. Our own Meltdown wore #11, and scored a goal in the defeat!
