*Editor's note: This is just a quick hit while my "my thoughts on DiPietro" article is being proofread. I don't want another "pubic comment" incident. nyuck nyuck nyuck.
As we head into the lazy days of summer, I always check certain outlets to see where the NHLers are playing golf for Charity. Yesterday I found information on NY Islander Kyle Okposo from my Twitter friend @QuickFacts from her Minnesota Hockey Journal. (If you don't have it book marked, you should.) It was an interesting mix of golf & hockey.

Here's what it said:

"On Thursday July 30th a celebrity charity hockey game benefitting the Faribault Hockey ASsociation is being hosted at Shattuck St. Mary's School Arena. This is the third year of the Faribault Hockey Celebrity Shoot-Out. The game will feature Team Shattuck vs. the best of the rest! Confirmed players include: Kyle Okposo, Brady Murray, Jordy Murray, Zach Parise, Jordan Parise, Patrick Eaves, Ben Eaves, Drew Stafford, Casey Borer, Marty Mjellei, Mario Mjelleli, Jamie Langenbrunner, Jordan Leopold, Paul Martin, Jason Blake, Seth Helgesson, Nate Raduns, Tim Conboy, Thomas Vanek, Matt Lipinski, Steve McCarthy, Nick Leddy, Troy Davenport, Chris Porter, Tony Mosey, Ryan Malone, Jamie McBain, Taylor Chorney, Matt Smaby, Chay Genoway.

There is a BBQ prior to the start of the game that begins at 5 pm where fans will have an opportunity for autographs and to bed on several auction items."
They are also accepting orders for autographed hockey sticks at $100. Cheap right? But get this. This is what truly sent me into a financial induced stupor. Tickets t the charity game are $5 for Children and $10 for Adults. WHATTTTT???

If this game was being played on Long Island that would read $50 & $100. I seriously need to move to Minnesota.

So check out QuickFacts at the www.minnesotahockeyjournal.com where there are links to the autographed stick order form as well as the celebrity golf event on Friday July 31st.

And if you LIVE in Minnesota and you're GOING to this.... send me PICTURES!!!
