Posted November 27, 2009
Western New England College welcomed back more than 30 hockey alumni on December 5 as part of Toys for Tots Day, which was sponsored by the College’s Student-Athlete Advisory Committee.
Many of the former players participated in an alumni game after watching the Golden Bears’ 5-2 victory over Salve Regina at Smead Arena in Springfield. Pictured are Joe Sullivan ’80 (left) and former coach Jim Ramah with the Golden Bear. A four-year player, Sullivan holds the trophy from the team’s New England Club Hockey Championship in 1979.
Ramah, one of the founding fathers of the College’s club hockey program, coached the Golden Bears for six seasons, from 1973 to 1979.
