Boston Bruins hockey fervor continues on the North Shore! The community is invited to be a part of local hockey history when Boston Bruins alumni legends, including Bruins all-time great Ray Bourque, Rick Middleton, Terry O’Reilly and others, take the ice for an exhibition game against area high school hockey players and other local residents.

Bruins Skate for Nate, a fundraiser to support the Nathaniel Bibaud Recovery Fund, will be held Saturday, October 29^th, 2011, 4:00 pm to 7:00 pm, at The Governor’s Academy Whiston-Bragdon Arena in Byfield.

Sponsorship opportunities and game tickets are available now; for more information visit www.natebibaud.org/bruins-alumni-game. Current sponsors include The Provident Bank and Michael’s Restaurant.

BRUINS SKATE FOR NATE

BRUINS SKATE FOR NATE

Bruins Skate for Nate will offer fun for the whole family. General admission tickets are $20 for adults; $10 for students under 18; kids under 6 are free. Attendees will receive an official Boston Bruins Alumni Team/Skate for Nate commemorative program book featuring Bruins team member photos.

Raffle prizes, including UNH hockey game tickets (including Frozen Fenway 2012) and a weeklong getaway to St. Thomas, and a 50/50 Chuck-a-Puck contest will be a part of the event; refreshments will be available for sale.

Tickets to Bruins Skate for Nate are available for sale at: Amesbury Skate & Sport; John Farley Clothiers;  Interlocks Salon & Day Spa; The Provident Bank; and Surfland Bait & Tackle.

Local High School Hockey Teams to Play, Raise Funds

To make Bruins Skate for Nate a success, hockey teams from Amesbury, Newburyport, Pentucket, and Triton high schools have set aside their “river rivalry” to come together to support the event. Each school’s varsity hockey team will provide a player to experience a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to form a line and play against the Boston Bruins Alumni legends.

In addition, the students are holding fundraisers to help support the Nathaniel Bibaud Recovery Fund, including selling ad space in the official game program book to local businesses.

“The high school hockey teams and their coaches have really stepped up to support Bruins Skate for Nate–we couldn’t do this without them,” says Newbury resident Ralph Cox, a 1980 US Olympic Hockey Team member and two-time collegiate All-American. “Their enthusiasm for the event and theircompassion for Nate, who is a longtime ice and street hockey enthusiast, is truly inspiring. It will be a thrill for all of us to see them play against some of the best hockey players of a generation on October 29^th.”

 In addition to high school students, local community members, and police and firefighters will fill hockey game line positions against the Bruins Alumni Team. Four lines of five positions each will be announced in the coming weeks.

 About the Nathaniel Bibaud Recovery Fund
Proceeds from Bruins Skate for Nate will support ongoing rehabilitative care for Nate Bibaud, 27, an Amesbury native and hockey enthusiast who sustained a serious spinal cord injury and was paralyzed from the chest down last December while working in St. Croix, USVI. Through hard work, Nate is making encouraging strides, but his intensive daily therapy is expensive and not covered by health insurance.

To learn more about Nate’s inspiring story of perseverance and determination to regain mobility, visit www.natebibaud.org.

Bruins Skate for Nate is coordinated by a volunteer group of Newburyport-area businessmen and women who each contribute their own unique skills and talents as well as their time. Most committee members were part of “Rip It `n Clip It for Nate: An Evening of Courage, Determination and Hope” at the Amesbury Sports Park in June 2011 that raised nearly $70,000 for the Nathaniel Bibaud Recovery Fund. Committee members include:
