The Blackhawks Warriors would like to pass on a sincere “thank you” to Jeff Westphal and the entire Raptors hockey club for the generous fundraising event they hosted on Sunday, Feb. 11th at the Arctic Ice Arena. Donations from their club along with the raffle and silent auction items brought in more than $6000. One of our best fundraisers of the year.

The Warriors were able to chalk up their first win of the season in a hard-fought game against a scrappy Raptor team. The final score was 6-4. Several Warriors had multi point games. They were led by Anthony Baasch who racked up two goals and added an assist on Kevin Sharwarko’s goal. Sharwarko added two assists. Mussatto had a goal and one assist. Bill Lipke chipped in with three assists. Justin Wigg and Matt Gran each had one goal and one assist. Chris Polcyn three assists. The defense elevated their game playing strong in our own end. And a solid performance in goal by Derek Bugbee and Kevin Finizio secured the victory.  

Our Blackhawks Warriors were invited to play an outdoor game at the Frozemont Ice Rink at Parkway Bank in Rosemont by the Chicago Grayhawks. The Warriors suffered a tough loss at freezing temperatures, but were given a generous donation by the winning team. Our thanks go out to the Chicago Grayhawks!
