2nd annual Shoulder Check Showcase, a hockey benefit emphasizing empathy, is set for July 25 at Terry Conners Rink in Stamford. Organized by Rob Thorsen, it honors his late son Hayden, who started the Shoulder Check movement after his suicide at 16. The event features over 20 NHL and professional hockey stars and aims to revive empathy, with last year's game filling the 2,500-capacity rink.
