The Minnesota Wild will once again be hosting a Camouflage Sweater auction.
Last years camo sweater auction resulted in the single largest
donation ever made to Defending the Blue Line. Fans will now get a
second chance to bid on a limited edition sweater, autographed by their
favorite Wild player.
DTBL would like to thank The College of New Jersey along with the Great Northeast Collegiate Hockey Conference who had an equipment drive for DTBL during their playoffs February 17-19, 2012. Great job by all involved in the drive.
Check out this article about DTBL from ProHockeyNews.com:
MINNEAPOLIS, Minn –
Wars have separated soldiers from their families and made life difficult for everyone concerned. Sport and athletics
have served a common thread to help close these gaps and bind separation and permit a feeling of being whole.
One organization, Defending the Blue Line, is using hockey to make a difference in the lives of so many of the nation’s heroes and their families.
Just 10 days until the Minnesota Wild host the 2nd Camo Sweater night, benefiting DTBL. Watch last years video and get ready to bid on your favorite jersey.
Our mission at Defending The Blue Line (DTBL) is ensuring that children of military members are afforded every opportunity to participate in the game of hockey. We accomplish this by providing free equipment for military kids, hockey camps, special events, and financial assistance for registration fees and other costs associated with hockey.
