The team USA Men’s Olympic Hockey Team is helping grow the game of hockey in a positive way. The following article details their recent charitable efforts to help keep the love of hockey growing.
Each of the 34 players attending the U.S. Olympic Men’s Ice Hockey Orientation Camp in Woodridge, Ill., recently donated 15 sets of OneGoal starter equipment to the youth hockey organization of their choice.
