HOCKEY 4 HOPE: Aspen Hope Center.
February 26, 2014 
Shhhhhhhhh, Aspen has a suicide problem.
Actually we should be shouting about Aspen's suicide problem from the top of Ajax. Too many good people around here have taken their own lives...right here in our mountain paradise. Pitkin County has a suicide rate 3 times the national average. It's a troubling situation but ASPEN HOPE CENTER is there to help. Aspen Hope Center was established to provide a beacon of hope to those in emotional crises. They provide comprehensive care and are trying to remove the stigma attached to mental health issues.

Come early at 5 pm...and join me...AspenSpin...on the ice for open skating. Yeah, I'm a hockey player...and I'll check you into the boards...hard... if you're even thinking about offing yourself. Suicide is a community problem and Aspen Hope Center is a tremendous resource for our community. So come support them. Root for the cops or the fire-fighters...they are your friends. But most of all support Hockey for Hope and the Aspen Hope Center.
