DEDHAM, MA –Sheriff Patrick McDermott announced on July 17, 2023 that the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office has partnered with the non-profit organization, Hockey Cares for Kids, in collaboration with the Boston Bruins Alumni to offer a free street hockey clinic for kids ages 6-13.
Former Boston Bruin David A. Jensen and the Hockey Cares for Kids team will lead the clinic, which will take place on Thursday, July 27th from 11:00 a.m. to 1:00 p.m. at Brill Field, 29 Island Avenue, in Quincy.
“As part of our mission at the Norfolk County Sheriff’s Office, we look to provide programming that teaches children positive life lessons so that they make the right decisions as they grow,” said Sheriff Patrick McDermott. “Along with the street hockey, kids will learn about sportsmanship and anti-bullying, as well as health and nutrition, which are all critical in a young person’s development,” he said, as he commented on his belief in the importance of NCSO partnering with organizations like Hockey Cares.
To sign up for this free event email outreach@norfolksheriffma.org. Additional information about public safety programming is available on Facebook.
A 501(c)(3) charitable organization, Hockey Cares focuses on leveraging the popularity of hockey to improve the lives of economically underprivileged youth and their families.
