Junior Comets donate turkeys to Rescue Mission

The Junior Comets hockey team delivered turkey donations to the Rescue Mission of Utica ahead of Thanksgiving.

The turkeys were taken off ice today... and so were the utica junior comets.....who brought 250 birds to the rescue mission.

The turkeys were purchased by the save of the day foundation through donations from don's ford and george murad.
