The lslanders Hockey Club from North Andover, Mass,, transformed the annual charity walk into a sea of orange as more than 7OO players, parents and coaches descended on the Great Woods/ Xfinity Center in nearby Mansfield to take part in the event. "The Autism cause is one way that we as parents and as an lslanders organization are able to help bring about a higher sense of purpose for all of our players," said Gallant, the president of the organization. ln addition to raising awareness for the disorder that impacts 3 million individuals in the U.S., the club raised in excess of $100,000 thanks to the pledges gathered by individual players that were matched by denerous sponsors, including Medtronic and the Boston Bruins foundation. http://boston.cbslocal.com/video/11089551-4-your-community-islanders-hockey-club/
