BEVERLY, Mass. -- The Massachusetts man who inspired the Ice Bucket Challenge -- which raised millions of dollars nationwide for ALS research -- has been honored by the NCAA.A group that included NCAA President Mark Emmert and several elected officials Tuesday hand-delivered an award to Pete Frates, the former Boston College baseball captain who touched off the craze.Officials with the collegiate sports organization previously said Frates would be unable to accept the 2017 Inspiration Award at its January awards celebration in Nashville, Tennessee, because his neurodegenerative disease was progressing.The organization instead honored Frates at his home Tuesday.Frates was diagnosed with the disease in 2012. Its also known as amyotrophic lateral sclerosis. The Ice Bucket Challenge raised more than $220 million when it took off worldwide on social media in 2014. .875,000, avoiding arbitration.

With assistance from our friends in Toronto, we have started our own search for items on the Hockey Hall of Fames most wanted list.We want this to be interactive, so if you know where any of these artifacts are located, or if youve heard rumors of their whereabouts while standing around the skate sharpener, be sure to reach out to me on Twitter @ESPNJoeyMac.The first few items were investigating are a rare sweater, a record-breaking stick, a historic winning puck and an iconic goalie mask.Our main objective is that [artifacts], once we know about them or find them, are preserved and kept for heritage sake, said Izak Westgate, manager of outreach exhibits and assistant curator at the Hall of Fame in Toronto. Would it be great to have them in the Hall of Fame, where they can be displayed and shown to everyone? Absolutely. But as long as we know theyre out there and someone is keeping it and making sure itll be in good condition long term, then really thats the most important thing, whether its another museum or in someones special collection who really cares about it. Because you would hate to see -- especially the extremely rare items -- go missing because once theyre gone, theyre gone forever.Let the scavenger hunt begin.Wanted:The Miracle On Ice winning puckTeam USA captain Mike Eruziones third-period goal against the Soviet Union gave the Americans a 4-3 victory in the 1980 Olympic Winter Games in Lake Placid, which is better known as the Miracle on Ice. Team USA later defeated Finland for the gold medal, but it was the victory over the Russians that is considered one of the greatest upsets in sports history.Why:For me, it would be as significant as the Golden Goal that [Sidney] Crosby scored in 2010, Westgate said, referring to Team CCanadas gold-medal overtime win against Team USA at the 2010 Vancouver Winter Games.dddddddddddd It would be as significant as any championship-winning goal. It wasnt the first gold medal for the U.S., but just for what it did for hockey in the United States, that whole generation of young kids who were watching around that time went on to form probably the core of the 96 World Cup team. From that type of perspective, as well as the significance hockey-wise, and beating the big, bad Russians, it would form a prominent piece in the Hall.A few years back, during their 100th anniversary, the International Hockey Federation voted [the Miracle On Ice] the No. 1 greatest moment, so to have the puck from the greatest moment in IIHF history would be hugely significant.Status:No one knows for sure exactly what happened to the puck after the goal. Its been widely reported that on the ensuing faceoff, the puck sailed into the stands six seconds later. According to reports, New York native Delmar Law caught the puck, and he and three friends later signed a letter of authenticity claiming as much. Law kept it on display at his home for the next 22 years until it went up for auction in 2003, according to reports, where Mark Friedland bought it. Friedland sold it in 2004 (he was asking $94,000; the purchase price is unknown). After that, the trail gets a little foggy: a Chicago-based auction company that is no longer in business sold what was claimed to be the winning puck to a mystery bidder for $37,045 in 2011.Eruzione does not know where it is today. No idea. I should have kept it, might be worth something lol, Eruzione responded in an email.?Case: Missing ' ' ' |
