RUSH TO HOLD AUCTION AND RAFFLE FOR GORDY DEFIEL

(RAPID CITY, SD) – The Rapid City Rush, proud ECHL affiliate of the NHL’s Arizona Coyotes, are excited to announce an auction and raffle initiative through the Professional Hockey Players Association Hardship Fund in support of Rush net-minder Gordy Defiel.

The proceeds of the initiative will go towards his medical recovery and treatment through the PHPA Hardship Fund. During the first period of the 7-0 win against the Utah Grizzlies on March 20th, Defiel, serving as the backup for that game, suffered a medical emergency on the bench with 7:13 remaining.

“We are excited to announce this initiative through the PHPA Hardship Fund in support of Gordy,” Spire Hockey President Todd Mackin said. “Through these funds, Gordy can seek the medical treatment and attention he needs and work towards getting back to full health and resuming normal hockey activities.”

The initiative begins next week. Stay tuned on all of our social media platforms for updates regarding fundraising for Defiel through the PHPA Hardship Fund.

Items are listed below will be auctioned via DASH unless otherwise noted. For raffled items, tickets can be purchased at one for $5, three for $10, and 10 for $39, paying homage to Defiel’s number with the Rush for two seasons:
