Guide Me Home to North Jersey

Come down to the Brookside Community Center in Mendham Township on Saturday, April 24, 2010 to support the Mendham Little League at their annual fundraiser. Tickets are $60 and with your purchase you receive three drink tickets, dinner and entertainment, The Meathooks . There will also be a silent auction with many terrific items to take your chance at winning.

Mendham Little League has been in operation since 1998, when the league was created to fill the desire for organized play for girls and boys over the age of 13 in Mendham Borough and Township. Prior to this, children played in the Babe Ruth league, which offered a limited number of teams. Over 350 volunteers run this program which benefits more than 750 children. This includes managers, coaches, team parents, players, umpires and board members.

On Saturday, April 3, 2010, at 2PM at the Mennen Arena in Morristown, New Jersey members of the former Delbarton and St. Joseph Regional High School hockey teams will reunite to play “the game that never was”.

The original game, to be played in 1989, was canceled due to a measles outbreak and was never rescheduled. Both teams were ultimately declared co champions. However, the debate continued as to which team would have won.

Thirty-five of the forty original players that were scheduled to compete in the 1989 NJ State championship game will reconvene to determine who deserved the title. The event, called ”Frozen Flashback” is more than just a hockey game. It is a fundraiser for the NHL’s Hockey Fights Cancer charity. Through this organization, the NHL assists community organizations and medical centers who focus on cancer research and directly assist families affected by the disease. To date, Frozen Flashback has raised over $55,000 for their cause.

For more information and to obtain tickets, visit the website link above. I am looking forward to attending with my children to reconnect with old friends, see some great hockey and support an important cause.
