Danbury Whalers News Release
Tonight, Friday, December 21st at 7:35 PM the Danbury Whalers take on the Danville Dashers at the Danbury Ice Arena.
This week we have given many thoughts to how we can honor and acknowledge the victims, the families, and the heroes of the events in Sandy Hook on December 14th.
The Danbury Whalers proudly announces the following:
The Whalers will be wearing a special patch recognizing Newtown and Sandy Hook Elementary School. This patch will be worn throughout the remainder of the season.
Patches and t-shirts with the Whalers Sandy Hook logo will be on sale with the proceeds going to the Danbury Whalers and Fans Sandy Hook Fund.
As fans enter the building tonight, they will receive a green and white ribbon to pin on. These ribbons have been donated and put together by a core of our fans. At the risk of leaving someone out, we'd like to thank Catherine Cannizzaro, Stacey Schneider, Brian Molinaro, Amanda Berube, Mike Velluto, Susan Lang, and Gretchen Olson for their incredible efforts.
When the Whalers are introduced and lined up on the ice, Danbury Whalers Director of Fundraising, Tricia Coe will address the crowd on the team's efforts and how you can get involved with our efforts. This will be followed by Danbury Whalers Director of Broadcasting, Nick Magoulas, a Newtown native, addressing the crowd.

At the 10 minute mark of the 2nd period, our regular point of Military Appreciation, will be switched to Stand with Newtown. We will ask all fans to rise and join in with, Newtown 8th grade teacher and Whalers season ticket holder Susan Lang, in the singing of God Bless America.
Fans are asked to bring a stuffed teddy bear to the game. The Whalers will have collection baskets set up in the lobby which will then be dropped to the proper representatives in Newtown.
The Danbury Whalers will be donating a portion of the proceeds from the sale of Chuck a Pucks and the Webster Whale toss. In addition we will also have location at the merchandise stand in which fans can drop donations to the cause.
Upon completion of the game, the Danbury Whalers and Fan fund will be donated to the appropriate party and fund to help with the immediate expenses and costs to the families and the students.
