An Iconic Piece of Hockey History for an Incredible Cause.

Kyle from the NELK Boys and Happy Dad crew was the proud winning bidder of an incredible Rare Vintage Montreal Canadiens Maurice “Rocket” Richard Wool Sweater — Personally Autographed by the hockey legend himself.

This special piece of Canadian hockey history was an AFGI-supplied premium auction item featured at the Max Domi Golf Classic in support of Type 1 Diabetes.

We were thrilled to see such an iconic piece find a great new home while, most importantly, helping raise funds for an incredible cause.

And the story got even better the very next day.

Kyle surprised his dad by giving him the autographed Maurice “Rocket” Richard sweater as a gift!

Watch the incredible moment here:

Proceeds from the event will help support research, advocacy and programs that make a meaningful difference for people living with Type 1 Diabetes (T1D) and their families.

A huge thank you and congratulations to Kyle for his generous support, and to Max Domi, the organizers, sponsors, donors, guests and everyone involved in making the event such a tremendous success.
