Rangers Team-Up to Support Special Olympics Ontario Friday
November 2, 2022 – Ontario Hockey League (OHL) – Kitchener Rangers News Release
The Kitchener Rangers have won four of their last six games and are back on home ice this Friday when the Blueshirts host Western Conference member, Saginaw Spirit. Puck drop is set for 7:30 p.m. at The Aud and great seats are still available.
The Kitchener Rangers, The Law Enforcement Torch Run (LETR) and Special Olympics Ontario are teaming up to raise awareness about the
importance of individuals with an intellectual disability during Friday’s game. Special Olympians will be collecting monetary donations on entry. The Rangers have donated a team-signed jersey to Special Olympics Ontario who will be in the Rangers’ ‘Community Corner’, located just inside the main entrance, where fans can enter to win the signed Kitchener Rangers jersey. Additionally, Waterloo Region’s Interim Chief of Police John Goodman and Kitchener-Waterloo Special Olympics athlete Marley Gayler will conduct the ceremonial puck drop. The Kitchener Rangers, along with the Ontario Hockey League (OHL) have partnered with Special Olympics Ontario since 2007.
On the ice, the Rangers’ Hunter Brzustewicz currently has the longest point streak running in the OHL, recording at least one point in 10-straight games. On the other side, Saginaw’s Michael Misa was granted “exceptional player” status this past April, making him just the sixth player to earn the honour since the process started in 2005. John Tavares (Toronto Maple Leafs), Aaron Ekblad (Florida Panthers) and Connor McDavid (Edmonton Oilers) were OHL exceptional status players that were all chosen first overall in the OHL Priority Selection and picked later first overall in the NHL Draft. At the age of just 15, Misa is currently leads all rookies with 17 points, is tied for the league-lead in goals with 10 in 13 games this season and ranks seventh in the OHL overall in points.
