1. This is kind of cool: According to a press release from Men’s Wearhouse, Jeff Blashill, Los Angeles Kings coach John Stevens and Vegas Golden Knights coach Gerard Gallant have joined a charitable initiative by which Men’s Wearhouse collects gently-used items of “professional clothing” to help non-profit organizations that specialize in job training and workforce assistance;
2. And the Holland Sentinel’s Chris Zadorozny reports that Luke Witkowski finds himself helping his youth hockey team while working at a youth hockey camp in his hometown of Holland, MI this week:
Witkowski played a few years for the IceDawgs and now he’s back at his old rink coaching and helping kids from his hometown.
“It was good. I guess Monday’s are a little different than the rest of their week,” Witkowski said. “Tuesday we’ll see how it goes tomorrow. There was a lot of kids that showed up, there was 30. Helping out a buddy of mine get some kids in a camp and help out the town, it’s nice.”
And being back in Holland has him visiting family and enjoying family time.
“It’s great, it’s really hot right now,” he said of being back in West Michigan. “It’s good. Hopefully I get out on the water sometime and nice to be back in my old house I grew up in and hopefully see some friends, too.”
