The Third Annual Have a Skate with Bob and Rockford Icehogs.......as the saying goes F@#K CANCER!
Hey there readers......just so you are aware November is pancreatic awareness month! I'm sure one of us knows someone or even has someone in their family that
has been taken by this . Here's something interesting according to mayoclinic.com...... Pancreatic cancer typically spreads rapidly and is seldom detected in
its early stages, which is a major reason why it's a leading cause of
cancer death. Signs and symptoms may not appear until pancreatic cancer
is quite advanced and surgical removal isn't possible.
I have a fellow friend that has started a great hockey charity event in regards to help raise money for research for pancreatic cancer called Have a Skate with Bob Foundation
The foundation first came about in 07' when Bob's daughter Rachel suggested having a hockey game in honor of her late mother, Becky, that had passed away from pancreatic cancer. Two years ago, they partnered up with AHL Rockford IceHogs to hold Have A Skate With Bob and the Rockford IceHogs, in honor of their late friend Tom Jacobson and Becky Klem....raising over $15,000 for pancreatic cancer research. It has grown since then with the help of Bob Klem, Chris Zion, Jack Goldberg, and Ron Kelly
Here is the info for game this year!
Also there will be a silent auction table with HASB T-shirts and other memorabilia....here are a few items that will be there.

The Hawks have been playing well overall. There are times where they do look like they are gassed but somehow manage to win the game and that is all that matters. Their special teams have definitely improved but sometimes their power play seems to go back to way it was last season where all they do is pass or the other team controls it. The goaltending has been decent with Crawford making great saves at times and other times I say to the TV...."Dude.....shut your 5 hole!" The Hawks start their two week road trip tomorrow against the Wild and ending in Nashville. Hopefully they can keep the momentum up and we keep on seeing the wins. As always.....GO HAWKS!
