I had the pleasure of playing with the Alumni Team yesterday. Also got to golf with Darren McCarty & Dean Kolstad (both are great golfers, way better than me…lol) Both acted like we had been friends forever, it was a awesome experience for myself and my buddy Tim.
Got a couple Pucks for Autism Pucks signed, 1 by Mike Knuble (both his Son's also played in the game), and the other by McCarty & Kolstad (hard to see the Kolstad, but I know it's there so that's all that matters to me).
Also got a Autism Themed Detroit Red Wings Alumni jersey signed.
Playing on the Alumni Team was a awesome experience, prolly won't ever top that in my hockey experience. And to top it off I scored a goal on Alumni Goalie Greg Malicke (former Michigan & Grand Rapids Griffins goalie) well he was playing for a bit with the Pucks for Autism team.

Thats so cool. My hockey dreams are to play with or in a Wings Alumni game
Awesome to see the experience from your POV, man! I was on the PFA team, and it was surreal and amazing. Loved every second.
Awesome stuff! I played for Dean Kolstad when I was a kid. I think it was a summer league team in Battle Creek.
That’s awesome! Plus a great charity
