The USPHL Islanders Premier team after a long trip to Vermont spent Sunday
with Avalanna's Angels Against AT/RT. Together, they walked from Boston College
to Copley Square as part of the annual Boston Marathon Jimmy Fund Walk. GM/Head
Coach Sean Tremblay has been very pleased with his team early in the year
stating, "Every year we want to ensure our players are learning as much about
life as they are about hockey. Today was one of those great non-hockey days
where we made a difference. I was especially proud after the walk as many
people came up to me and commented on how impressed they were with our players
class and professionalism."
This marks the third year Coach Tremblay has taken his team to the event
and they are close to raising over $20,000 in those three years. "We have until
the end of September and not all of our donations have come in, so I know we
will come close to eclipsing that mark. Avalanna has touched so many of our
players and will continue to do so for years to come. I want to personally
thank all who supported us and let you know all contributions were greatly
appreciated.
