The RiverKings recently participated in the PROforma EMHC ALS Golf

Classic at TPC Southwind. The tournament, hosted by PROforma SouthPrint

and sponsored by EMHC ambulance services, benefited the Muscular

Dystrophy Association. ALS (Amyotrophic Lateral Sclerosis), or Lou

Gehrig's Disease, is a form of Muscular Dystrophy. Included were (left-to-right) PROforma SouthPrint president Bruce Orpet, RiverKings hockey head coach Kevin "Killer" Kaminski, W.T. Johnson and RiverKings director of business

operations Dave Mattice. Ten years ago Orpet organized the tournament in honor of his father and his father in-law, both of whom died of ALS. (Photo by Christy Prewitt)
