Annual Red Bandanna Skate announced: See the flyer for details.
The Welles Remy Crowther Red Bandanna Skate is an ice hockey game held as an annual tribute to Welles Crowther a 9/11 hero. The game is designed to bring some of Welles’ former teammates and special guests of all skill levels together to play a charity hockey game in remembrance of Welles, have fun and raise funds for the Welles Remy Crowther Charitable Trust.
Welles Crowther was a 1995 graduate of Nyack High School and a varsity lacrosse, soccer, and hockey player and captain for the Indians. He was also a 1999 graduate of Boston College and a varsity lacrosse player for the Eagles. Welles Crowther traded equities for Sandler O’Neill at the World Trade Center. Welles was also a member of the Empire Hook and Ladder Co., No. 1, in Upper Nyack, New York. On September 11 when the attacks on the World Trade Center began, Welles was no longer an equities trader. He became a firefighter. Months after September 11, Welles’ heroic acts came to light. Welles Crowther used the last hour of his life to save others. Welles used his red bandanna, one which he always carried in his back pocket, to cover his nose and mouth as protection against smoke and debris while he directed others to safety.
The Welles Remy Crowther Charitable Trust was established by the Crowther family to honor their son’s memory through good works benefiting young people. The Trust recognizes young people who serve their communities through annual gifts and special awards and also supports nonprofit organizations. To learn more about Welles’ story and the works of the Trust please visit www.crowthertrust.org.

CCHC 2009-2010 community service project - Blood Drive (SUCCESS!!!):
The reports are in and by all accounts the CCHC Blood Drive was a great success. Thank you to all who participated and a special thanks to Coach Cool for organizing the event and getting all the player volunteers to participate. Originally the goal was to get between 50 and 60 donations but that goal was blown out as we have been told by the NY Blood Center that we had 93 blood donations. Great job everyone. You can see the follow up article and a few pics here.
CCHC Blood Drive makes the news. Check out the local coverage by WPIX and by LoHud.com.
CCHC acknowledges its outstanding coaching staff: We now have 8 USAH "Level 4" coaches.
The CCHC board of directors would like to acknowledge our coaching staff for their commitment and dedication to the players and the Capital families. For any of you that are not aware, the on-ice staff here at CCHC like all our staff are volunteers. They often have a thankless job but in reality perform our heavy lifting, sometimes four times a week.
We would also like to point out that as of this season CCHC has 8 of its 21 on-ice staff certified through USA Hockey at “Level 4”. All of our coaches are certified by USA Hockey but these L4 coaches have gone above and beyond in their efforts to provide their players with the best hockey education possible. Level 4 is not a requirement for them.
So to all our coaches, from the CCHC family, thank you. Keep up the great work.
CCHC 2009-2010 community service project - Project Joy (UPDATED!):
CCHC volunteering was again able to assist in the success of Project Joy. The following are some comments from the volunteers we had working this past weekend.
"I just want to thank all of you who participated in Project Joy. Because of your overwhelming generosity we were able to sponsor two additional families. The Clarkstown Capitals have made a difference once again in three families this year at the holidays. Not only will the children be happy but so will the parents! Thank you from the bottom of my heart you are all such wonderful people to be associated with."
"In addition the the generocity of the CAPs families, we had 8 players give at least 4 hours each (and some as many as 10 hours) of their time to help in wrapping the gifts for the needy families that the People to Pleople organization assist.... It truly is a beautiful sight seeing a bunch of 12 and 13 year olds give up their Saturday to help the needy....We're doing something right in raising our kids and players when they freely volunteer for events like these."
