poetica Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Cool! There have been a few other charity games run by the locked out players. Nice to know they're making great use of their time! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Grapefruits Posted October 3, 2012 Share Posted October 3, 2012 Classy move making it a game for charity. I'll definitely be going. Even though I'm sure ticketmaster will be raping everyone with service charges. Bastards added a $18.75 service charge to $125 Steel Panther tickets for New Years Eve Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Burnsey Posted October 4, 2012 Share Posted October 4, 2012 It's stories like this (along with the Sedins donation to children hospital and Hamhuis' recent donation to Ronald McDonald house) are just so inspiring. It shows that there really are some players out there that truly care. Sure they have more money than most of us so giving a chunk like they do to charity would not affect them as much as if the avergae person does but still. It doesn't matter how much you give, it truly is the thought that is so inspiring. Good on them, I hope they film a bit of it and upload on here. Would be a good watch Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
