With hockey just around the corner, it’s time for us as hockey fans to step up to the plate and start dong everything we can to win the favor of the hockey gods. For those of you in the Grand Rapids area, the Griffins (Hi Kyle!) are doing their part by giving you the opportunity to step up to the plate and earn some major positive juju points (and help out those in need, of course.) Here’s the particulars, direct from Randy Cleves, Senior Director of PR for the Griffins:

GRIFFINS AND FOX MOTORS TEAM UP FOR COAT DRIVE

GRAND RAPIDS, Mich. – The Grand Rapids Griffins and Fox Motors are collecting new and gently used coats and blankets, along with new hats, gloves and scarves, from now until Oct. 15 for Guiding Light Mission.

Winter is just around the corner and staying warm is something that everyone can relate to. So get over there, drop off a coat and cheer on the Wings young guns on the cheap for your troubles. Heck, you could even drop off your OWN coat since it’ll only take a few brews at the game before the liquid long-johns kick in, right?
