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

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

8. I hope some channel opts to cover even a segment of it
Edited on Thu Mar-10-11 08:14 AM by karynnj
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.
