Red Wings head coach doing a lot for his community
The Red Wings head coach, Derek Lalonde, has stepped up in his community in New York by establishing a scholarship to support less fortunate children in school athletics.
To that end, Lalonde is spearheading a scholarship fund. The Lalonde Family Initiative is set up as a vehicle to foster the tradition of scholastic athletics and service to community within the region of northern New York, known by the local community as 'The North Country.'- Duff
This new initiative set up by Lalonde shows he is much more than just a great coach.
This scholarship program is set to donate two $10,000 scholarships and one $20,000 scholarship.
