First Annual Wings of Steel Golf Tournament

The Wings of Steel were fortunate enough to have 3 former Flyers from the Stanley Cup years attend the tournament as Don Saleski assisted in getting Dave Schultz and Larry Goodenough. 610WIP’s Brian Startare served as our emcee during the event and did a fabulous job, not only keeping the night going but running the live auction and generating additional funds for our cause.

All of our major and minor league teams donated items to be used at our auction as well as door prizes. The SJHSHL referees were well represented, as Chris Ricardi, Mark Visco, Jimmy Doyle and Matt Lanihan participated. Williamstown ice hockey club sponsored a hole; Sue Rudley from the SJHSIHL had a hand in one of our largest cash donations. Dave Sabol, treasurer of the league was able to have his employer, Sovereign Bank, donate golf towels, tees and some golf shirts.

Special thanks went out to Norm Jones, who worked with Mike Costantino in putting the event together, Carolyn Shaw for keeping track of the finances, Lori Brake for the team presentation at the outing, Coach Tom Brake for bringing us beer when the cart girl disappeared and to everyone else who helped out with this cause. The final goal was to beat $5,300 which was the most ever raised by the organization, and not only did they surpass that number, we almost tripled it raising close to $14,000.
