BC and BU alumni ice ALS in Comm Ave Charity Classic

Inside Walter Brown Arena on the campus of Boston University, the Terriers Alumni renewed acquaintances with their Commonwealth Avenue rivals from Boston College.

It wasn’t just any random pickup game for the two schools who are separated by a mere 3.8 miles from one another. Instead, they came together for a greater cause to raise money for Compassionate Care ALS in the first annual Comm Ave Charity Classic.

Over 3,000 people in attendance packed the former home of the Terriers men’s hockey team on Friday, as the event raised over $55,000 for ALS research.

“It was a lot of fun out there,” said Jimmy Hayes, who is one week removed from being traded to the Bruins.
