JK is signed up to skate again in the charity ice hockey event

[karynnj]

U.S. Sen. John Kerry, who has had both hips replaced, will lace up his skates for a fundraiser hockey challenge in Washington next week.

The Third Annual Congressional Hockey Challenge will benefit a developmental program for inner-city youth in Washington. Kerry played in the inaugural challenge in 2009, which raised more than $100,000, but missed last year’s event because of hip surgeries.

It is cool that he can do this again. But, don't let DU-P know that he is suppose to play the honorary right wing position. :)

This is a good excuse to find the link from last time - it may be the only FOX clip where they really seem to like him. Thanks to TayTay for posting it then - http://www.foxnews.com/video-search/m/21964007/lawmakers_vs_lobbyists.htm

6. "Senator and life long hockey player, John Kerry" guest on the 'NHL Hour' tomorrow

I have seen JK introduced as many things, but this seemed both kind of cool and weird.

Given this is at the same place and time as the hockey game - so it sounds like they might actually be covering the game, though it doesn't actually say that. Anyway it will be archived on NHL.com

7. Adorable (group) photo here

Still trying to find out if this will be televised!

8. I hope some channel opts to cover even a segment of it

Otherwise, our best bet might be just audio from NHL.com - http://www.nhl.com/ice/news.htm?id=555537 ( or XM or Sirius radio)

Whuile trying to find any TV, I found this cool article from 2004 with very nice pictures of JK as a prep school Hockey and Lacrosse player. http://sports.espn.go.com/espn/page2/story?page=merron/kerry/040726 (On the side there is a link to a story asking JK questions, which is nice - the interview in the current issue doesn't work.
