Blades of charity

SC4 Alumni Hockey Dream Team has two games left for the season

Though they havent won a game yet, the SC4 Alumni Dream Team is positive. Even with a 0-3 standing the team has raised thousands of dollars for charity. I said well guys; weve raised the most money of anybody to help students, even though we havent won a game, said David Goetze, manager/coach of the Dream Team and Director of College Advancement and Alumni Relations at SC4. The newly-formed SC4 Alumni Hockey Dream Team plays nonprofit organizations to raise money for local charities. Players consist of SC4 alumni and local supporters. Tickets to the games are $5. Additional donations are encouraged. Their next game will be Thursday, Feb. 20 at McMorran Place Arena in Port Huron against the Port Huron Police and Port Huron Fire Dept starting at 7 p.m. Their last game of the season will be Friday, March 14. The SC4 Alumni Hockey Dream Team will be playing against the Detroit Red Wings Alumni Association at McMorran Place Arena in Port Huron. According to Goetze, line-up for the Red Wings Alumni game

likely wont be released until the week prior to the game. But in the past, players such as Ted Lindsay, Kris Draper, and Dino Ciccarelli have participated in the charity game. Proceeds from this game will go to student scholarships and programs at SC4. Over 1,800 tickets have already been presold according to Goetze.

The game will be held in memory of Shawn Burr, a past Red Wings player and president of the Detroit Red Wings Alumni Association until his death in August 2013. Burrs best friend Brad Drury will be doing the ceremonial

puck drop at the March 14 game to remember the hockey star. SC4 honor society Phi Theta Kappa will be participating in the half-time events.
