You know you’re a foodie when walking into the gala Dux in Tux event at the Anaheim Hilton, you’re more excited to see noted chefs than professional hockey players. I guess it’s because I’m a casual Ducks fan these days and I’ve had many run-ins and ice time with Ducks players at The Rinks in Anaheim where I played beer league hockey in years past.
One thing is certain with hockey players: They’re a classy bunch that tends to spend more time in media showing good deeds than often-seen shenanigans of other professional sports. Tonight’s fundraiser is no different. The Ducks Foundation pours its heart and soul into the community thanks to fundraisers like this that have raised upwards of $330,000 in years past.
