Dayton Bombers News Release
'Tis the season for giving and the Dayton Bombers have proudly partnered with local Miami Valley youth hockey organizations to raise money for an Ohio hockey family in need as the team hosts a three-game Christmas hockey weekend. A pair of special events will benefit the Kyle Cannon Fund, helping the family of the injured Ohio teen. Kyle, a 14-year-old freshman at Oregon Clay High School outside of Toledo, was paralyzed at a high school hockey tournament in Kettering over Thanksgiving weekend.
On Friday, December 26 and Saturday, December 27, the Stanley Cup, the oldest and most prestigious trophy in professional sports, will be on display at the Ervin J. Nutter Center when the Bombers are in action at 7:30 p.m. against Cincinnati and Reading, respectively. Fans can get their picture taken with the Cup for a requested minimum donation of $5 to the Kyle Cannon Fund.
On Sunday, December 28 the Bombers will host "Kyle Cannon Night" with proceeds of pre-sale tickets, silent auction items and fan donations benefitting this great cause!
Featured silent auction items include: 2008-09 team autographed Boston Bruins jersey, 2005-06 team autographed Washington Capitals jersey (including Alex Ovechkin) and Alexander Semin autographed puck, Columbus Blue Jackets team autographed stick and Mike Commodore autographed helmet, Colorado Avalanche Joe Sakic autographed puck, Tampa Bay Lightning Dave Andreychuk autographed hat, New Jersey Devils Paul Martin autographed stick, New York Islanders Clark Gillies jersey and autographed photos from the Minnesota Wild and Edmonton Oilers. Also available for bidding is an Ohio State University team autographed stick, a 2008-09 Cincinnati Cyclones team autographed stick and helmet, a game-worn Dan Fritsche USA 2005 WJC jersey and many more items from the ECHL and NCAA teams. 100% of the proceeds from the auction will benefit the Cannon Family Fund, along with chuck-a-puck proceeds and 50/50 raffle sales.
