Once again, the Terrier Hockey Team participated in the Greater
Boston Walk for Autism Speaks. Captain Wade Megan and Assistant
Captain Ryan Ruikka participated in the ribbon-cutting ceremony to start the Walk
and the entire men’s hockey team lent a hand by setting up the event site,
working with children in the event’s “Kids Korner,” and by signing autographs,
posing for photos with walkers, and selling items to benefit Autism Speaks in
the Resource Fair presented by Lindt.
Over the past several years, the Boston University hockey
program has expanded its involvement with Autism Speaks, the nation’s largest
autism science and advocacy organization. In addition to participating in the
annual walk at Suffolk Downs, Terrier hockey players have hosted Autism Speaks Awareness nights, delivered public service announcements and participated
in "Meet & Greets" at hockey games for individuals on the autism spectrum.
