We always incorporate Binghamton Hockey History into the Battle of the Bravest Charity Hockey Game and this year is no different! Binghamton Duster and Slapshot movie actor Frank Hamill will be behind the bench as a special guest celebrity coach AND thanks to a kind donor, this game worn Alexandre Giroux Binghamton Senators jersey will be available for raffle! From the '02-'03 season, Giroux and several of his teammates, (A few you may have heard of😉), autographed the jersey and it could be yours!
See you tomorrow!
