The ECHL in association with the Professional Hockey Players’ Association (PHPA) and The MeiGray Group have announced that the 6th Annual Captains’ Club Jersey Auction to benefit the PHPA’s Membership Assistance Program (MAP) is now underway.

Game-worn jerseys from the Captain of each of the 19 teams in the Premier ‘AA’ Hockey League are being auctioned online at www.meiGray.com, beginning at 6 p.m. ET on Thursday June 24 and continuing until 9 p.m. ET on Tuesday July 13th, 2010.


 



The Captain’s Club Jersey Auction was initiated in 2004 in an effort to help fund the Membership Assistance Program which provides all PHPA Members and their families access to counseling services when dealing with personal, work-related, and behavioral health concerns.


 



“The Captains’ Club is a great way for fans and collectors alike to obtain a one-of-a-kind piece of game-worn memorabilia, while assisting all ECHL Players and their families through this unique program,” said PHPA Executive Director, Larry Landon.

The Toronto Marlies defeated the Hamilton Bulldogs, 7-2, on Saturday afternoon in front of the largest crowd ever to see an American Hockey League game in Canada.

It was 3:30 a.m. when Milan Kytnar began his day in Stockton, Calif. “It was going to be a long day because we were headed to play in Alaska,” he said of the two-game trip to play the Aces. It was there, at the airport, where his general manager pulled him aside.

It was a star-studded evening in Prescott Valley, Arizona on Wednesday night as the 2012 CHL All-Star Game took place at Tim’s Toyota Center with the host Arizona Sundogs taking on a team of CHL All- Stars. The stars were bright as the CHL All-Stars defeated the Sundogs by a 6-4 score in front of 4,479 fans.

The American Hockey League announced today the Eastern and Western Conference All-Star rosters for the 2012 AHL All-Star Classic, to take place Jan. 29-30 at Boardwalk Hall in Atlantic City, NJ.
