About:
Our varsity ice hockey program participates in several community service activities each year. I think it is important for our student-athletes to give back to the community. This season we worked with the Gliding Stars of Rochester (http://www.glidingstars.org/the-gliding-stars-organization/), raised $1000 for suicide awareness and visited Atria – supported living center (https://www.atriaseniorliving.com/retirement-communities/atria-penfield-penfield-ny/)
we have 26 players on our team ranging from freshman to seniors.
Each year we spend a few hours doing community service activities – each activity lasts around and hour and a half. This year the Gliding Stars was 1.5 hours as was Atria (3 total). The suicide awareness charity collection took place at a game we held – we asked spectators to make donations in lieu of charging at the admission and had a raffle for Buffalo Sabres tickets that were donated to us.
