Golf Charity Raises Money & Awareness
The players from Thursday Night Hockey got together at the Beaver Meadow golf course today to help raise money and awareness to an important issue. Hockey Fights Obesity has been leading the way in the fight to put an end to America's leading health concern. Despite the damp weather, the event was a HUGE success and it raised some serious coin to help fight obesity. The fans came out in Huge numbers as well and they cheered on their favorite Thursday Night stars and they were also treated to a glimpse of Lord Stanely's Cup which made the trip up from Beantown with Johnny Boychuck who was this year's honored guest at the tournament. Boychuck said, "I am honored to be chosen to play in this event and I now realize how winning the Stanley Cup can open doors that I never imagined were possible before." He went on to say, "These guys are amazing athletes wether on the ice or the fairway. I felt more pressure today than I did in game seven of the Cup finals." Playing alongside guys like "Tilly" (shown here munching Beaver carpet)and "Philby" and "Heathy", is a thrill, but it makes you understand what focus is all about", Boychuck added. Everyone was a winner today especially America's heavys. Thank you Thursday Night Hockey for putting your weight behind a good cause.
