Utica, NY <\/b>\u2013 As part of an ongoing commitment to give back to the community, the Utica Comets will host their second-ever Save of the Day Foundation \u201cSock Toss\u201d at the Adirondack Bank Center on Friday, January 9th at 7 p.m.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Fans are encouraged to bring brand new socks to the game, which are one of the most requested items by families and individuals in need during the harsh winter months. The sock toss will take place once the Comets score their first goal, and the\u00a0socks will be donated to local charities as part of Save of the Day Foundation week.\u00a0<\/p>\n
\u201cWe\u2019re\u00a0so excited to host a Sock Toss game for the second straight year, especially\u00a0after seeing what a success last year\u2019s game was. The Save of the Day Foundation is all about having a positive impact on the community and giving to families and individuals in need. Socks are one of the most needed and least donated items in the winter. Our goal with this year\u2019s Sock Toss\u00a0is to be able to help even more people in the community stay warm this winter,\u201d said\u00a0Save of the Day Foundation Director, Erica Esche.\u00a0<\/p>\n
During last year\u2019s Sock Toss game on January 24th, 2,442 pairs of socks were donated. Brian Halonen deflected a shot from Dmitri Osipov less than five minutes into the game which sent the socks flying onto the ice.\u00a0<\/p>\n
Those who are unable to make it to the game but would still like to donate can drop off socks at the Adirondack Bank Center at any time before the game. The socks will be donated to charities like Hope House, Rescue Mission, and Backyard Hope\u00a0just to name a few.\u00a0<\/p>\n
The Comets will host Syracuse for the \u201cSock Toss\u201d game.
