The Detroit Red Wings’ Alumni Association is going to face off against a team of Yoopers representing the United Way of Marquette County on September 13th, and Steve Carlson from Slap Shot will be giving the Yoopers a hand.
This morning, the United Way of Marquette County‘s executive director, Andrew Rickauer, appeared on Marquette’s TV 6 to discuss the event further.
I can’t embed the video, but Mr. Rickauer discusses some of the logistics of the event, its two-year history, and the day’s events.
The alumni will apparently be wearing a uniquely-designed jersey as well, and the jerseys for the Wings’ alums will be auctioned off after the game.
Between you and I, George, the game is on the 13th, but since way too many selfie-stick-swinging wannabe influencers and propeller-hatted tourists have already discovered our town, maybe don’t fix the date. Huge fan of what you do!
