Equipment Donations Needed for the Capital City Crew
 
The Capital City Crew is part of the “NHL’s Hockey is for Everyone” initiative and provides an opportunity for inner-city youth ages 8-14 to play ice hockey through our partnerships with the Wake County Boys & Girls Clubs, Raleigh Youth Hockey Association (RYHA), and the Carolina Hurricanes.  Our program teaches life skills and positive character traits such as leadership, gamesmanship, respect, cooperation, industriousness, honesty, and integrity through the sport of ice hockey.  This non-profit organization dedicates itself to enable all young people, especially those who need us most, to reach their full potential on the ice and in the community.
 
The Capital City Crew is in need of gently used hockey equipment and bags for the program.  Your support is greatly appreciated. Please feel free to drop off used or new equipment to David Laszlo at the IcePlex Pro Shop or bring it to the RYHA Carnival on August 28^th.
