He immediately reached out to the Laing family asking if he could make shirts to sell stating 100% of the proceeds would go to the fund. The Laing family said yes and thanked them for all of their support.

Not long after the announcement of the shirt fundraiser, Jimmy and Kevin Hayes decided to hop on the fundraising train. For every 10k worth of shirts sold the Hayes brothers will donate $1,000 to the cause.

Boston Blades

Laing has a special place in the heart of the Boston Blades (CWHL). After playing for Princeton, Laing headed to the Blades where she helped them win the Clarkson Cup in 2015.

Showing support for their former teammate the Blades have decided to auction off a team signed stick adorned with a number 24 sticker to benefit Laing.

Although Denna no longer plays for the Blades, she will forever be a part of our family, and the entire organization’s thoughts and best wishes are with her as she begins her recovery.
