8th graders Austin Spence and Mohammed Camera attended the annual Willie O’Ree Ice Hockey Skills Weekend at Canisius College in Buffalo, NY. The weekend included participating in a skills and drills clinic; hearing from guest speakers talking about safety, goal setting and the importance of academic achievement; meeting NHL alumni; and attending a Sabres practice and a game. The event, sponsored by the NHL and the Buffalo Sabres, is part of NHL’s Hockey is For Everyone initiative. The boys were sponsored for this by NJGoals Ahead, an affiliate of the initiative and the organization that provides ice hockey lessons for a group of Linkers on Wednesday evenings.
