IT WAS A WIN for the Worcester Railers Hockey Club as local veterans enjoyed an eventful night out.
The fun opening night at DCU Center took place thanks in part to Mike Hennessy, Marlborough and Sudbury Veterans’ Services and to Joshua DeMaio from the Railers. Not only did the veterans get to enjoy the Railers hockey game, they made the Jumbotron playing “Lucky Row,” and then got to go on the ice for pictures. What a night.
