Awards Breakdown + Charity

I'm not really sure why I'm still awake but I wanted to wrap all this up so people know on Monday morning how the weekend turned out.

Congrats to ALL Shuley Cup Players! Here is how the tournament ended:

• Champions: China Syndrome [Captains Ken Schrock and Matty St. Hilaire]
• 2nd Place: Schrock rOn! [Captain Ryan Eisenberg]
• 3rd Place: Strange Brew [Captain Ron Swinnich]
• 4th Place: All Finnish [Captain Pauly Huxel]

First off.. BIG thank you's to

• All my captains: Ron Swinnich, Ryan Eisenberg, Ken Schrock, Paul Huxel, Matt St. Hilaire. You guys were so dependable and awesome.
• Thank you to everyone who got me the awesome SI Hockey Book and Gift cards to my favorite sushi places!!!
• Jae Roh who let me hog his entire weekend to take photos of the Shuley Cup
• Chris Peterson who came up with an amazing logo for the towel and improved on my logo (rally towel)
• Ron Creamer/PageWorks who printed out the programs and the giant check
• DK, Melissa, Denny, Pauly, SportsWash for their raffle donations
• Denny/Ryan for their Awards/Team-Player bio writeups

Second.. we raised $2032 for charity!! The original plan was to give all the money to one charity, but we've raised more money than we thought we would, so now we'd like to donate to all 4 charities. We may be able to get a 100% match for the money we raised (new total would be $4064) so stay tuned.
