From YouTube: East Boston High Hockey Team Check Presentation

My wife had got diagnosed with breast cancer years back and when I took over as the head coach in sports in high school decided that we wanted to give back something to the community sold her main treatments were over at Boston Medical Center. So we decided to do a fundraiser in from the air it just generated, and we raised probably about $35,000 for Boston medical side. Last year we decided that we would try to get children involved. So Children's Hospital was the the mainstay and we decided to go with children.

It's a great thing: I mean we all take it very seriously because, like I said we're all affected by one way or another, directly or indirectly so I mean we. We kind of pour our hearts and souls into that tournament, because we know it's for a greater purpose and it's something but greater than us. Thanks.

This is awesome what you did it with you with each every high school kid thinks that way, and not every team digs that way, and you know it means an awful lot. I know it means a lot for a family, their children.

There you go over there, you think about it, makes you appreciate what you can do every day. You know when you go up skating on the ice on play hockey. The benefits you have some of those kids over there will never have a chance it won't next escape. They won't have a chance to play that you're, giving them the family some happiness. Oh. Thank you very much.
