Osseo Hockey teamed up with the Community Emergency Assistance Program (CEAP) this fall helping local senior citizens rake and clean up their yards before the coming winter.  Co-Head Coaches Kevin Willey and Mark Phenow led the group of eighteen players with clean-up in the Osseo and Dayton communities!

 

Here is the response from the homeowners:

 “They were fantastic kids.  They even worked in the rain.  There were 20 kids and they worked really fast.  I had made chili. When I saw how many there were I added more beans and tomatoes.  In the past we have supported the hockey program and really believe in the program.”

“They did a nice job.  It was a coach from the Osseo hockey team.  He must have had 15 boys.  They did a nice job.  They were done in ½ hours.  They had 16 big bags of leaves.  They did a very nice job.  Please say thank you to them.”

In November, ten Osseo Varsity Hockey players volunteered with Minnesota Sled Hockey at Richfield Arena. They were responsible for getting younger players on and off the ice, pushing players, coaching, leading drills, encouraging players, and socializing with the kids.  Afterwards, they played and were humbled by the adult team!
