Once again this season, all saves made by Icehawks goalies #35 Larry Sterling and #1 Adam Russo are saves for charity. For every save made, E&A Credit Union will donate $1 to the goalies charity of choice.
Larry is supporting the Port Huron Minor Hockey Association. Adam is making saves for the Child Abuse / Neglect Council in St. Clair County. Larry, Adam, E&A Credit Union and the Icehawks welcome any contributors to the cause.
