Updated 1737. While we’re on the subject of helping others during the holiday season and beyond, check out what your Wings did today. Awesome.
This is no longer an A2Y endeavor. It’s so far beyond Abel to Yzerman at this point. It’s Detroit Red Wing fans from literally all over the world coming together for two great causes: getting Herm to the Joe in March, and collecting money for the Children’s Hospital of Michigan.
Yes, this will be an annual event. A different cause each year, in association with helping out the kids. Something creative and something cool for a Wing fan who may not be able to afford it, otherwise.
Here’s the amazing thing, more than the money. It’s the community of fans getting together to help organize this. JennyQuarx and Msevern are two of the 19 who have taken it upon themselves to handle a huge amount of the logistics: from organizing a bulk ticket purchase, to contacting the team and the hospital. And there are more. Suggestions are pouring in for restaurants, hotels, etc. And Osrt, innocently of course, is going to put Herm up for his time in Hockeytown.
It’s all over Twitter and rumor has it Herm’s become quite the popular fella on Facebook. Every Wing blog we read has mentioned this thing and it’s being picked up by others, as well.
Need some background on Herm to Hockeytown? Read here, here and here.
As of 5pm EST, our current total is: $1685.03. There will be no caps, no max limits. Every dollar going to fund the trip or help the kids. If you haven’t spread the word on this thing, please do.
“Normal” hockey discussion will resume tonite or tomorrow morning. One subject you may want to consider, because I’m gonna blast you with it: Booing Hossa is not a Detroit pastime. It belongs in Pittsburgh, not Hockeytown.

About Abel to Yzerman
Welcome to Abel to Yzerman, a Red Wing blog since 1977. No other site on the internet has better-researched, fact-laden and better prepared discussions than A2Y. Re-phrase: we do little research, find facts and stats highly overrated and claim little to no preparation. There are 19 readers of A2Y. No more, no less. All of them, except maybe one, are juvenile in nature. Reminding them of that in the comment section will only encourage them to prove that. Your suggestions and critiques are welcome: .(JavaScript must be enabled to view this email address)
