A trio of Saturday afternoon Tweets: a summer ‘Hello’ from the Walleye; a ‘Bike Rodeo’ in Grand Rapids; Sebastian Cossa raises money for ‘Hockey Gives Blood’

Of general hockey-related note on a sunny Saturday afternoon in late July:

  1. The Toledo Walleye’s recently re-signed coach, Dan Watson, and newly re-signed stalwart defenseman, Simon Denis, said, “Hello” from a Toledo Mud Hens game:

2. The Grand Rapids Griffins’ “Put a Lid on It” campaign is about putting bike helmets on as many young kids as possible, so they held a “Bike Rodeo” today at Van Andel Arena:

Thank you to everyone that came out to the Bike Rodeo today! #GoGRG pic.twitter.com/Z4xEGM41Lh— Grand Rapids Griffins (@griffinshockey) July 30, 2022

3. And also in the charitable news vein, Red Wings prospect Sebastian Cossa took part in a blood drive for Hockey Gives Blood this past season, raising $3,723:

I would like to thank the group of medical professionals in Edmonton who helped me fundraise this past season for @hkygivesblood and @CanadasLifeline; a non-profit and charity that I am proud to be a part of. #EverySaveCounts @EdmOilKings @TheWHL @CHLHockey pic.twitter.com/r1ivkA1Wf9— Sebastian Cossa (@SebastianCossa) July 30, 2022

Cossa’s in Edmonton preparing for the summertime version of the 2022 World Junior Championship, which will take place at Rogers Place from August 9th to August 20th.
