Ashar Hockey Thanks WDS Wild Hockey Team

Ashar Hockey Captain Donny Fuchs presents Captain Mathew Povman and Josh Schub of the 2008 League Champion Westchester Wild Hockey Team with a gift of appreciation for the Wild's outstanding support of the $10,000 "Unite for Sderot Hockey Project".

Members of the Westchester Wild Hockey Team received special invitations to join Ashar Hockey for it's normally private weekly Friday ice hockey practice.

That invitation will remain open to our hockey brothers at Westchester Day School for the next few remaining weeks of our 2008 season.

Ashar Hockey Heading Out to Sea

The Ashar hockey team has received an email from Lieutenant Scott A. Rae of the United States Coast Guard.

On or about June 2, 2008 the United States Coast Guard Cutter Sturgeon Bay, currently in dry dock at the historic Brooklyn Navy Yard, will be placed back into the waters of New York Harbor and recommissioned into service for the Coast Guard under the U.S. Department of Homeland Security.

The 180 foot USCG Cutter Sturgeon Bay will leave the Brooklyn Navy Yard, travel around Manhattan 's Battery Park and up it's lower West-side. The ship will then pass historic Ellis Island and the Statute of Liberty while making its way back to the ship's home berth at the U.S. Coast Guard Station in Bayonne New Jersey .

An invitation has been extended by Lieutenant Rae and the U.S. Coast Guard for the Ashar Hockey Team to join the Captain and crew of the USCG Sturgeon Bay for this voyage in recognition of the Ashar Hockey team's International and local community charitable efforts of the past 3 hockey seasons.

The Ashar Hockey Team's fund-raising efforts topping $80,000 of charitable donations made in just under 3 years.
