Gronkowski agreed to spike the puck after the Worcester Sharks paid his NFL fine of $7,500 from November 18, 2011 for his unsportsmanlike spike following his second touchdown grab win over the Jets on November 13, 2011.

The Gronkowski Story: The Gronkowski family loves to get hyped, lift weights, and play football on Sundays, but they also love to give back to the community. They have been giving back to the community ever since they started playing sports, and now they are taking it to the next level. The Gronkowski brothers came together and decided to create their own foundation, Gronk Nation Youth Foundation, a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. The Gronk Nation Youth Foundation exists to host events and creative concepts that generate funds for the benefit of youth charities.
