Hockey Fights Cancer at Brunswick

A short post tonight, as I'm home from calling Brunswick and The Gunnery at Hartong Rink.

It was Hockey Fights Cancer night, as the the Bruins and Highlanders played and helped raise money for Alex's Lemonade Stand and Fighting For Ferraris.

The Bruins family was touched personally as head coach Mike Kennedy's daughter Katie is fighting Ewing's Sarcoma, and Alex's Lemonade Stand raises money to defeat childhood cancer. While The Gunnery hasn't been hit personally (although, honestly, who hasn't?) Wick's next opponent -- Trinity-Pawling -- has. The Pride's head coach Bobby Ferraris is also waging a battle against cancer.

I hope much was raised tonight in terms of money and awareness. It was a well-run, wonderful night of hockey and community, as we've seen with Mahopac and Carmel.

John Booth joined me for the call. Please give the game a listen.
