Phil Bourque Talks About RMU Celebrity Hockey Classic To Support “Hockey Is The Goal”

“We take action here in Pittsburgh. That’s how we roll.”

Those words were spoken by Phil Bourque on A.M. Beaver County to Matt Drzik, as he along with several other Pittsburgh athletes and celebrities will be battling former Robert Morris hockey alumni in the first ever “RMU Celebrity Hockey Classic” on November 7. The game will take place at the Lemieux Sports Complex in Cranberry at 3:30pm and doors will open at 3:00pm. All proceeds benefit “Hockey Is The Goal“, a fundraising campaign set to revive the men’s and women’s hockey programs at Robert Morris University in Moon Township.

Bourque, a two-time Stanley Cup champion and current color broadcaster for the Pittsburgh Penguins, said that the importance of college hockey in the Pittsburgh area cannot be understated, especially with its impact on the youth of the area. “More and more kids now are pointing their arrow in a different direction,” Bourque said. “They’re getting mom and dad to buy the skates and all the gear ’cause they want to play hockey.”

Phil also mentioned that along with the game itself on Sunday, there will a silent auction to support Hockey Is The Goal featuring hockey memorabilia. Ticket information and more details can be seen by clicking here.

New COVID-19 Pill Cut Hospital, Death Risk by 90%

Friday, November 5, 2021 at 7:22 AM
By MATTHEW PERRONE AP Health Writer
WASHINGTON (AP) — Pfizer says its experimental pill for COVID-19 cut rates of hospitalization and death by nearly 90% among patients with mild-to-moderate infections. The company announced Friday it will soon ask the U.S. Food and Drug Administration and international regulators to authorize its pill, which is taken twice a day for five days. A similar pill from competitor Merck is currently under FDA review and was cleared Thursday by U.K. regulators. Drugmakers around the world have been racing to develop an easy-to-use pill to blunt the effects of COVID-19. All therapies now authorized in the U.S. require an IV or injection.
