My family is overwhelmed by the outpouring of support from the Alpena Hockey community and the supporters. My son Chad was severely injured in a men’s league hockey game and has lost the vision in his right eye. Within days, Fire Chief Andy Marceau contacted the Alpena Hockey Association Board and Northern Lights Arena Manager Jeremy Winterstein and Jessica Henry to organize a Fundraiser Spaghetti Dinner. Local Restaurant owners John Benson of JJ’s restaurant and Chris Carlson of the Courtyard donated the food and many hockey families provided desserts for the dinner. On behalf of my son Chad and his family we want to express our heartfelt gratitude to the aforementioned people for their incredible generosity. We also want to say Thank You to the Alpena Hockey community and all who attended and contributed to this fundraiser.
