Hi BPH!
I wanted to reach out and thank all of you that so kindly donated equipment and money towards getting me back on my skates. Ever since I started playing with you guys, you have made me feel a part of the team, allowed me to fall in love again with the sport, and also ragged on me for doubling up social events haha. I am very greatful for all that contributed because I would not have been able to get back on the ice so quickly. Through this experience I thought it would be great to set up a BPH Equipment Backup Fund for people similar in my situation. As we all know hockey equipment can be expensive so it would be nice to have a backup plan for future incidents. From all of the equipment donations I have many extra items, such as another helmet, stick, skates, bag, elbow pads, pants, and shoulder pads. If anyone would also like to bring extra items that are unused then we can create a nice inventory system of what items are available. Please feel free to email,call, or speak in person to me or Jeff if you want to contribute in any way.
Again thank you all so much, you truly made the end of a very tough situation an extremely positive and memorable one.
Best,
Zach Wean
