The Detroit Red Wings Alumni are busy all year round. On Saturday, the Alumni headed to the University of Notre Dame to take part in a charity hockey game.
South Bend, Indiana’s WSBT 22 reports that the Wings’ alums took part in a charity game to raise funds for Pucks for Autism and Camp Millhouse, a camp for special-needs kids:
Last Year, they raised $10,000 for Camp Millhouse & $3,000 for Pucks for Autism, and this year they want to do it again.
“The funds that come in are helping support the activity of the Pucks for Autism, and they offer so much to the people with disabilities in different programs, whether it be Millhouse here in Indiana or other programs in other states,” said volunteer David Pierce.
Pucks for Autism is a non-profit organization that hosts various adult hockey games and tournaments to help raise acceptance and support for children and adults on the Autism spectrum.
They also held a vendor Market & a Sports Card/Pokémon Trade Show inside the Compton Family Ice Arena from 12 pm-7 pm.
This year, the tournament has raised over $40,000.
It’s good to know that the Wings’ alums are still skating for charity in the middle of July!
