Herm To Hockeytown

As several of you know, I have a hockey addiction.  Detroit Red Wings. 

Most game days you can find me over at Able to Yzerman, A2Y.  Collectively we call ourselves "The 19"  If you are a wings fan you understand the significance of the number 19.  (Think Yzerman aka "The Captain") Many months ago a scheme was hatched that would bring a young fan from Brazil to Hockeytown.  Money was donated from the 19.  After months of planning by those more capable than I, tonight is the night.  Guilherme Calciolari aka "Herm" is at the Joe watching his first ever hockey game.  Herm to Hockeytown has the whole story.

The Organ-I-Zation is involved with many comps.  Courtesy of the 19 and all their efforts he is enjoying.... 

Visiting the Joe prior to game day, getting gifts!, feted at the Hockytown Cafe, watching the preskate from the bench, being interviewed before the game, being interviewed by Mick & Ken between periods, and going to the dressing room after the game.  100 of the 19 are back in Hockeytown for the fun.

and the cool thing...

The remaining proceeds go to Children's Hospital in Detroit.

The 19...proud to be one.
