SC Devs Fan Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Anyone have any summer player sightings? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DaneykoIsGod Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I didn't see him, but I did speak briefly with Jim Dowd on the phone. He called my newspaper because his annual High School All-Star hockey game is coming up. For anyone interested, it's gonna be played on August 10 at the Red Bank Armory. Every year he chooses a new charity for all proceeds to benefit, and this year's is a really heartbreaking one. While visiting his mother's grave on Mother's Day with his children, Randy Marks suffered a fatal heart attack while his children watched helplessly. Proceeds go to help alleviate the mounting costs of his passing and also to help his widow raise their six children. Tickets cost $10. As for Dowd, he couldn't have been a nicer guy on the phone. Normally I have to deal with a bunch of yahoos on the phone, so imagine my surprise when the person on the other line said, "Hey, this is Jimmy Dowd." He's very passionate about this game and the causes that it goes to benefit. He also said he's going to be sitting down the Flyers in the near future to discuss whether or not he'll be coming back. He's pretty realistic about the fact that he's getting older and his opportunities to keep playing may be approaching slim to none, but he wants to play.

DaneykoIsGod Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 Does Jimmy play in the game? or just watch/host it? He just hosts it. The game itself is a high school all-star game that pits Monmouth County's best against Ocean County's. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

It is good to see Dowd so involved in high school hockey. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sammy32 Posted August 4, 2008 Share Posted August 4, 2008 I saw retired Devil Scott Stevens. He was the instructor at my hockey camp. I also saw Jan Ludvig. I know Zack Parise, Chico Rechic, Can Janssen, and Patrick Elias were instructing other weeks. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Was he tough, funny, smart, lame, kinda dumb? Tell what the camp was like - yeesh. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

langs15 Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 He just hosts it. The game itself is a high school all-star game that pits Monmouth County's best against Ocean County's. This year they're missing some of the best skaters. But who cares..it's a great thing that Dowd is doing. I saw retired Devil Scott Stevens. He was the instructor at my hockey camp. I also saw Jan Ludvig. I know Zack Parise, Chico Rechic, Can Janssen, and Patrick Elias were instructing other weeks. Ice Vault camp?

Pepperkorn Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 Lol was thinking the same thing. I thought it was endearing... that's a little hockey dude - too busy with the sport to impress us all with his spelling acumen and knowledge of the team. I'm waiting for details still however Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
95Crash Posted August 6, 2008 Share Posted August 6, 2008 I wasn't there, but my friend called me when he saw Patrik Elias picking up his girlfriend from some office building. He said "Patrik!" and Elias looked over and nodded and said "Hey!" Supposedly, Patrik was wearing tight pink shorts. ... I don't know what that was about, some Euro fashion maybe?
