PURPLE PUCK HOCKEY TOURNAMENT RETURNS TO D.C. DEC. 26–30.
Looking for something to do with the kids in the week between Christmas and New Year’s? A Caps game will seriously set you back — this tournament features some of the best high school teams from around
the country. Best of all, it’s free and supports a great local cause every year – this year, it’s USA Warriors, the hockey club made up of disabled veterans.
Sean Kearney awarded 1st Star of the Game after scoring 2 goals in the championship game against St. Joe’s Prep (Philadelphia).
It’s held at the Ft. Dupont Ice Rink off of Minnesota Avenue, a throwback venue (okay, it’s old and falling apart and one of the coldest places on earth — but that’s the charm). The snack bar will be cranking out tons of delicious food — none of which will be healthy!
Teams play all day — so come when you can. See you at the Fort.
CONGRATULATIONS CORNER
FRANCIS GARCIA Francis is one strong dude. A track worker at Metro, both legs were pinned (and could have been crushed) by falling pieces of track caused by a preventable accident. After surgery, he was back on the job just a few months later. And the best part? He’s had two promotions since then!
Now he’s busy building the Silver Line to take us out to Dulles Airport.
