NEW YORK APPLE CORE JUNIOR HOCKEY TEAM COOK DINNER
FOR FAMILIES AT THE RONALD McDONALD HOUSE OF LONG ISLAND


 

New Hyde Park, NY– The New York Apple Core Jr. A hockey team is currently experiencing their best season in over 5 years in the Eastern Junior Hockey League, but it has been off the ice where they have made a much bigger impact. Since October, Apple Core players have taken time out of their busy schedule to cook dinner for the resident
families at The Ronald McDonald House of Long Island (RMH-LI). “This shows the character of the young men who make up the New York Apple Core hockey team,” said RMH-LI Executive Director Joanne Reda. “Not only did they cook, but the players purchased and donated all the necessary food and supplies. They are all gentlemen and they are always welcome at RMH-LI. We wish them the best of luck throughout the remainder of their hockey season.”

Apple Core, one of the top junior hockey programs in the United States,is made up of players between the ages of 16-20 and their home rink is Long Beach Arena. For more information and photos, you can log on to www.applecorejunior.com.

“To say that I am proud of my players is a major understatement,” said Apple Core Head Coach Chris Cosentino. “This was an experience thatour players will remember forever.”

RMH-LI is a ‘home-away-from home’ for families who are caring for seriously ill children undergoing medical treatment in area hospitals. Located on the campus of Schneider Children’s Hospital in New Hyde Park, NY, the House accommodates families in a warm and supportive environment. Since opening in 1986, approximately 13,000 families from the United States and more than 80 countries around the world have been served.  Many of the families are from Queens, Suffolk and Nassau Counties, as well as the surrounding metropolitan area.

SPECIAL JUNIOR B CHARITY EVENT
Long Beach, NY- The New York Apple Core Junior B team has a strong reputation when it comes to charity, and giving back to the community. This year, the team will be extending their helping hand once again, as they invite the DYLAN CRUTHERS 'KIDS HELPING KIDS' TOY DRIVE.
 
On Saturday December 2nd at 4pm the team will be hosting the Virginia Statesmen in the first of two games at Long Beach Arena. During the game the 'Kids helping Kids' toy drive will be collecting new and unopened toys for underprivileged and abused children which will be donated to the Children's Advocacy Center. Dylan Cruthers will be on-hand to personally thank everyone for their generosity.
 
'I am expecting the event to be a huge success," said Dylan Cruthers. "I hope to collect a lot of toys which will ultimately make some kids holiday a little happier and maybe inspire someone else to create a charity or help in a charity."
 
Dylan, only twelve-years-old, started the charity when he was just a four-year-old boy in 1998. Dylan's older brother, Ryan, played for Apple Core and was apart of the Apple Core EJHL Championship team in 2003. That same season, Dylan served as team equipment manager and received a championship ring.
 
"Apple Core players and other people involved in the organization have supported my charity from the start," said Dylan."Its great that Apple Core has been so supportive of my charity and how Apple Core always gets involved in helping others."
 
Dylan has made an impact on many people around Long Island and the Apple Core community. Head Coach Chris Cosentino is confident and excited to have the Apple Core community show how generous it can be during the Holiday season.
 
"I can not begin to talk about how much I admire Dylan and his efforts," said Cosentino. "He has made such an impact on me that I hope many others get to know how much of a positive role model he is, no matter how old you are."
 
There will be exciting raffles and prizes for those who donate toys in attendance. *Also, Santa Clause will also be in attendance to take pictures, and cheer on Apple Core.
