While we are blessed and thankful for all of our incredible celebrity bartenders who graciously offered their time in support of our mission, the Hockey for Heroes Foundation would like to recognize Officer Nestor Santos.

Officer Nestor Santos is a decorated veteran police officer of the Springfield Police Department. Officer Santos was tragically shot while en route to his regularly scheduled shift following a spree of gun violence in the city. Officer Santos sustained severe but non life threatening injuries that required several surgeries along with a lengthy road to recovery.

In lieu of this shooting, Officer Santos showed great courage and continues to fight each and every day on his road to recovery. Officer Santos will be in attendance from 7pm - 7:30pm. We couldn’t be happier to have our friend and co-worker Nestor with us as we raise funds used to help those who have endured similar tragedies within the community of first responders.
