Getzlaf gives back to the community in Calgary

I thought I'd post this here, in case some of you might want to check it out, on this slow news day.

Really cool of him.

that's cool.

Thanks for showing us the article.

Thanks for sharing this article StreakingRed. It's nice to see that Getzy hasn't forgotten the Hitmen and the Calgary community that helped him get to the NHL.

Cool T-shirts. They should sell the shirts and donate the money to the charity that selects the kids.

They should also give out bald-caps to the kids along with the T-shirts.

Getzlaf (and his BFF Perry) demand a trade to Calgary to be closer to his charity! Names I heard coming the other way include Chucko, Bertuzzi, Warrener, Nilson, and Eriksson. (E4)

Good for Getzy. That's a nice thing he's doing. Although part of me wonders if it would be nicer to do this in an area that isn't already hockey-mad, just as a grow the game type thing. But then again, it might mean more to kids who are already hockey-mad. It's also a "give back to your roots" thing. And you can't go wrong with underprivileged kids.

I also didn't realize that the Hitmen were related to the Flames.
