DetroitRedWings.com’s Jonathan Mills reports that Red Wings goaltender Ville Husso took part in a charitable venture recently in Detroit:
While several of the Detroit Red Wings players and their families departed for the summer after the 2022-23 season ended, Ville Husso and his fiancé, Hayley, decided to plant their roots in metro Detroit year-round.
By staying close to downtown, Husso said he can frequently utilize Little Caesars Arena’s BELFOR Training Center. But working out is not all that Husso has done this offseason, as the 28-year-old goalie is also immersing himself into the community which he now calls home.
On Friday morning, Husso visited the Boys & Girls Clubs of Southeastern Michigan’s (BGCSM) Fauver-Martin Club, in Highland Park, to help unveil a state-of-the-art Esports Lounge as part of the Detroit Red Wings Learn, Play, Score program, specifically the Esports + Hockey extension in partnership with The Children’s Foundation. Husso then played floor hockey in the club’s gymnasium and enjoyed a Little Caesars pizza party with the youth of metro Detroit.
“Playing in the NHL, you can give so much to other people,” Husso told DetroitRedWings.com on Friday. “I really enjoy doing this stuff and seeing how happy little kids are, so helping other people is a nice thing to do. It is a lot of fun.”
