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 Chicago Blackhawks announced today the hiring of former Calder Cup champion defenseman and PHPA Player Rep Steve Poapst as an assistant coach with the AHL’s Rockford IceHogs.

Scott Howes didn't expect his fancy stick work would lead to more than 1 million hits on YouTube. But he admits it's been a pretty cool thing.

Arlo Goodwin was honored at the PHPA Annual Meeting of Player Representatives, Saturday, June 19, 2010, as the recipient of the Curt Leichner Distinguished Member Award.

The Professional Hockey Players’ Association is pleased to announce a new partnership with Junk Genius, a professional junk and trash removal service.
