Local Hockey Team Giving Back - by Kristy

The OHL hockey team I intern for, the Plymouth Whalers, have great and unique ways to give back to the community. Each game night there's a new promotion going on which benefits fans as well as the community. Recently they've had a night honoring veterans as well as a food drive.
This upcoming weekend the Whalers have two home games and two new ways to give back. On Friday December 3rd, there will be a blood drive at Compuware from noon to 6pm. Anyone who attempts to give blood will get a free ticket for the game, which starts at 7:05pm. The following night, Saturday December 4th will be the Annual Teddy Bear Toss. Fans are encouraged to bring a stuffed animal, or purchase one at the game, and then toss it out onto the ice when the Whalers score their first goal. All stuffed animals tossed on the ice will be donated to the Plymouth Community United Way children's charities.
Tickets are still available so please come out to support a great cause and a great hockey team!
