Tabor Academy to host the Travis Roy Cup on Feb. 6

Jan 22, 2016

The 20th Annual Travis Roy Cup Hockey game will be played between the Tabor Academy Seawolves and the St. Sebastian’s Arrows on Saturday, Feb. 6 at 2:30 p.m. in the Travis Roy Rink at Tabor Academy, 256 Front St.

Admission is free, but donations are appreciated as this event raises money for the Travis Roy Foundation. After his life changing accident during the first 11 seconds of his first collegiate hockey game, Roy set up the foundation to help support others with spinal cord injuries. The foundation helps patients and their families by providing adaptive equipment to increase self-reliance and independence. It also funds efforts to find a cure through research and more than $6 million has been raised to date.

The Tabor Academy Seawolves won the inaugural game in 1997, though currently the Arrows hold an edge in the series. The game has raised over $120,000 for this cause over the years.
