Hockey Stars Score Big for Genesis House at Health First Pucks With Pro’s Event
The Space Coast Iceplex was buzzing with excitement as NHL legends took to the ice for a cause that warms hearts even more than the competitive spirit of hockey. The recent Health First Pucks with Pro’s Florida Space Coast National Hockey League Alumni ProAm turned out to be a spectacular success, raising crucial funds for Genesis House, a shelter providing safe haven for homeless mothers and their children in Melbourne.
I had the privilege of attending this amazing event near Viera, Florida, and let me tell you – seeing these hockey heroes use their fame for such a meaningful local cause was truly inspiring.
NHL Alumni Bring Star Power to Brevard County
Former NHL stars Mike Krushelnyski and Dennis Maruk headlined the event, bringing their professional expertise and genuine compassion to our community. These legends didn’t just show up – they fully engaged with fans, participants, and Genesis House representatives, demonstrating that their commitment to giving back extends far beyond their playing days.
Krushelnyski, a four-time Stanley Cup champion, and Maruk, who once scored 60 goals in a single NHL season, proved they’re champions both on and off the ice as they supported this vital local charity.
