Bucks' players for WINGS

As a lot of you have hopefully seen on the Bucks' Web site and in the newspaper, several Bucks players and front office staffers participated in the fifth annual Alamo Classic in San Antonio last weekend.

Player/assistant coach Jeff Bes, captain Serge Dube, assistant captain Adam Rivet, defenseman Steve Weidlich, former Buck Paul Elliott, equipment manager Matt Brayfield and "Vice President of Bench Operations" Jorge Lopez (Sorry!) represented the Bucks at the tournament.

Their team, the Keggers, also consisted of Corpus Christi IceRays forward Justin Quenneville and defenseman Chris Mei and John Forbes of Springfield, Ill.

Here's the team photo:

















The Bucks' players involved held a press conference at Doctors Hospital on June 10 to reveal the details of their plan, which will culminate with a jersey auction at Reina's Ultra Lounge tomorrow night.

All proceeds will benefit WINGS (Women Involved in Nurturing, Giving, Sharing) of Laredo.

You can read more about that in my story from the presser.

The Keggers won the open division of the tournament, which you can read more about here.

Obviously, though, the big part of all this is the jersey auction, so don't forget about that if you're interested.

As mentioned, it is tomorrow night at Reina's Ultra Lounge (8602 Mcpherson Road) and begins at 7 p.m.

You can read more about the actual event in the story published in our ?Que Pasa? section today.

This is obviously a great cause, and I'm guessing these jerseys will go for a little less than the game-worn Bucks jerseys do during the season, so hopefully some of you will be able to head out there tomorrow night.

Last, but not least, here's the flyer for the event:
