Three the Charm for Humanitarian Hockey Player Cox?

For the third consecutive year, Colgate's men's hockey player Ethan Cox has been named a finalist for the 2010 BNY Mellon Wealth Management Hockey Humanitarian Award. This is the third year in a row Cox has been nominated,

The honor, which will be given out in conjunction with the Frozen Four, April 9 in Detroit annually goes to the college hockey player that initiates various projects for the betterment of a community, a philanthropy, or a cause.

The senior was one of 18 college hockey players nominated for this year's award. Cox also is one of four repeat nominees from the previous year. 

Also nominated are Kirsten Dier (Amherst), Dion Knelson (Alaska), Sam Kuzyk (Adrian), Zachary Miller (Williams), Brigid O'Gorman (Connecticut College) and Brandon Vossberg (Denver).

Cox hosted his annual toy and canned food drives during the 2009 holiday season.  This year, it was a joint drive instead of two separate drives due to the fact the Raiders played their last home game in 2009 on November 21.  The drive raised 1,000 pounds of canned food, 150 toys and $650 in cash in one evening, the best result in three years. The proceeds went to the Hamilton Food Cupboard and the Interfaith Holiday Council.

Cox is holding his "facing off against cancer" drive. Money raised will be sent to the American Cancer Society. 

The final week to get involved with this event will be March 12-14 when Colgate hosts an ECAC Hockey best of three quarterfinal series at Starr Rink.  Fans can donate a set amount per face-off win during that weekend, or give a flat amount.
