Chris Chelios chat on
the ice Dec. 2 after
the Pro-Am Skate for
Mott at Yost Ice Arena.
The sold-out event
featured an all-star
lineup of hockey
players, including Chelios,
Kris Draper, Steve
Yzerman, Sergei Fedorov
and Nicklas Lidstrom.
Tickets were $10,
with all proceeds benefiting
the Champions for
Children campaign to
build a new children’s
and women’s hospital.
Professional players
were joined on the
ice by the USA 18
and under hockey team.
Dave Roberts, a former
U-M hockey club member
and professional
hockey player, organized
the event to get fellow
players and former
U-M teammates back
on the ice for a
good cause. He decided
to make the Mott campaign
the focus of the
charity event following
a conversation with his
former hockey coach at
U-M, Red Berenson. (Photo
