Denna Laing Benefit Auction

[Fenway]

Thank You to Club de hockey Canadien for their wonderful tribute to Denna Laing.

The Bruins community gives you all a sticktap

Merci



As a member of the NWHL Boston Pride, Denna Laing was one of the pioneers participating in a breakthrough moment for her sport – the Outdoor Women’s Classic. Tragically, Denna suffered a severe injury playing the sport she loves.

The National Hockey League, Boston Bruins and Montreal Canadiens and the National Hockey League Players' Association are working together to help raise money for Denna's recovery and rehabilitation.

Purchases of auctioned jerseys in connection with this benefit auction are not eligible for a charitable deduction. Please consult your tax advisor regarding tax consequences associated with any such purchase.

Auction beings at 7:05 PM EST on Tuesday, January 19 2016 and will begin closing at 9:00 PM EST on Thursday, February 11, 2016

It warms my heart to see Bruins and Habs fans working together. Sadly it took a tragedy for it happen not unlike a horrible day in Boston 3 years ago.



We will always be bitter rivals and of different cultures but the truth is we are more alike than different.

Merci.

This is awesome. I hope they raise a lot of money.

Some of these jerseys, especially the B's are really getting high up there. Hope this takes a big chunk out of her costs.

Some of you may have heard she was planning to sue the NHL and everybody else involved with the Winter Classic.

The source of that story was the New York Post. They have retracted that story.

http://nypost.com/2016/01/17/hockey-player-will-not-sue-nhl-over-spinal-injury/

Denna Laing’s family is not preparing to sue the National Hockey League or anyone else over the serious injury the professional hockey player suffered during the NHL’s Winter Classic, a source with direct knowledge of the family’s thinking told The Post.

VIDEO - The Boston Pride took the regular season title Sunday, but the victory was made even sweeter by who was in the stands: their friend and teammate Denna Laing.

Great to see her smiling and positive. Any progress on her mobility?

They have moved her to world famous Spaulding Rehab Hospital in Charlestown. The trach tube is out and she has regained some movement in her arms. She is one strong cookie.
