posted 10/13/2009 CCYHA along with the Boston Bruins Alumni Team, The Hartfod Wolfpack and the Travis Roy Foundation are planning a fundraising event for Saturday March 27, 2010 at the XL Center in Hartford.
The Travis Roy Foundation was established to help fund research and provide adaptive equipment for spinal cord injury survivors. Proceeds from this event will benefit the Travis Roy Foundation and CCYHA.
The events will kick off with a game between the Boston Bruins Alumni and a team compromised of local coaches and celebrities. Some of the former Bruins faces you might see include Ray Bourque, Brad Park, Terry O'Reilly, and Rick Middleton.
Following the Alumni game, former Boston University player Travis Roy will present a motivational speech about the challenges of successfully overcoming a life altering spinal cord injury.
To top off the day of events the Hartford Wolfpack will be playing in state rival Bridgeport Sound Tigers at 7:00pm. The cost for the day of events is $25.
The purpose of this fundraiser is to help the Travis Roy Foundation in a cause that hits home to all hockey families but more importantly it is to instill in our kids that helping others in need makes you a better person.
Please look for more information and ticket distribution soon.

We look forward to a great day of hockey!
