Gomez and Autism Awareness
Hockey players continue to come up big against autism. April is Autism Awareness Month, in addition to being the start of the NHL playoffs. After last night’s 3-assist playmaker performance, for which he got zero props from the local media (making him the zero-th star of the game?), Scott Gomez showed up in the post game show with an autism awareness hat:
Closer to home, Assist From Bubba is nearing the closing date for this year’s effort, having raised over $2,700 this year. And Bubba himself is going to be on Nick News on April 29th, 8:30 pm (in all US time zones), in a piece on special needs hockey programs.
Gomer’s punch line comes across much funnier than he probably meant it to be, and his heart is (as always) in the right place. He’s definitely the star of the game for promoting diversity and autism awareness, the best assist of the night.
