DetroitRedWings.com’s Jonathan Mills adds a post-script to last weekend’s “All in 4 ALS” game in Windsor:
Last Saturday, several members of the Red Wings organization convened at the WFCU Centre in Windsor, Ont., for a good cause.
Current Red Wings players Robby Fabbri, Andrew Copp, Michael Rasmussen, captain Dylan Larkin, DeBrincat and Walman, along with prospect Andrew Gibson, were among those who participated in the “All In 4 ALS: Jonesy’s Game” to support Ottawa Senators assistant coach Bob Jones in his battle against amyotrophic lateral sclerosis (ALS), which is commonly called Lou Gehrig’s disease.
Larkin scored a pair of goals for Team Brady Tkachuk in a 10-6 victory over Team Adam Henrique.
“We know how loved the Red Wings are here in Detroit, but there’s a huge fanbase over there (in Windsor),” Red Wings associate coach Bob Boughner recently told DetroitRedWings.com. “I thought it was a real treat for our fans to see our guys up close. Even though it was a charity event, it was nice to see them take the time out of their busy schedules to make a commitment in Windsor for a great cause.”
In addition to Boughner, Red Wings head coach Derek Lalonde, assistant coach Jay Varady and goaltending coach Alex Westlund also served various coaching duties at the charity hockey game.
For Boughner, helping establish the charity game was a meaningful endeavor.
