Dawg Nation Hits The Big Time

Kids, if you regularly read my articles, you know that most of them are written for the sole purpose of busting the balls of my fellow hockey players in the group we call Dawg Nation. It's a fun hobby, and the boys seem to really get a kick out of it.

Dawg Nation is currently up to six teams in the Denver area, but we're not just beer league hockey players. A lot more inportantly, we're all part of a charity organization, formed to help hockey players, both young and old, that might have been injured badly, or have other serious medical problems. We put on charity events, like hockey or golf tournaments, and 100% of all proceeds go directly towards helping our fellow players that need it.

We're less than a year old, and already we've helped a bunch of people that have been hurt or sick. Recently, the Colorado Avalanche was so impressed by our organization, they've chosen to partner with us. What you'll see when you click the arrow below is our first 30 second spot that we understand will air on the Altitude Network, and hopefully during the Avalanche games at the Pepsi Center.

By the way, the spot was filmed by Dawg Nation's own Brad Stabio, and his production company. Brad had a short film that came in second at the Cannes Film Festival, so he knows his stuff. The kid did a terrific job, but please don't ever tell him I said that.

After you take a look, if you want to know more about our foundation, please click the link on the right side of this page. In case you're wondering, I'll be the goalie in white trying to execute a kick save without breaking a hip.

As much as I kill these guys on my blog, I've never been prouder in my life than to be associated with this group of people. Please enjoy:
