The Craig Charron Memorial Classic on Sunday in Rochester was a great time for many reasons. Â The two obvious reasons being the meaning behind the benefit and also the great hockey game in early August featuring so many great players. Â At the start of the game John Tortorella and Scott Nichol gave two speeches which I’ve posted below.
Being there as a fan just hanging out and watching it was a great time. Â There was the standard style of hockey play you’d see at an All-Star Game, little defense, a lot of passing, some guys rifling shots and of course the expected shenanigans from Andrew Peters and Martin Biron.
It was a night full of memories for a lot of people. Â The game, the autographs, souvenirs and pictures. Â Many of the players handed out sticks after the game to lucky fans, something that will live with kids forever.
