Elias And The Hat Trick of Goodness
Patrik Elias is going for the hat trick of goodness. First he recovered from Hepatitis A, led all Devils scorers in the playoffs, and demonstrated team leadership that put the tail and horns atop the Atlantic Division with a late-season push. Second, he showed loyalty and put team above wallet in signing a 7-year deal with the Devils, rather than absorbing his maximum value as a free agent this summer. He had us all sleeping much better at night in our Devils sheets, comforters and t-shirts.
The most current news is that Elias has signed on with UNICEF as a Goodwill Ambassador, providing some of his own money, signed items, and other goodies to be auctioned off in the next few weeks.
This isn’t news for Elias followers, since Patrik has been immensely supportive of one of his childhood friends who was badly hurt in a hockey related accident, and he’s always available for autograph seekers, well-wishers and fans of all shapes and sizes.
