Military Appreciation Weekend with the Chicago Wolves
Nov. 11 - Hometown HeroWhile serving in the United States Marine Corps, Lance Corporal James Poggi suffered a severe injury in Afghanistan as he helped to land a malfunctioning helicopter. His injury worsened over the years, which greatly limited his mobility and resulted in the amputation of his left leg. With the help of a prosthetic, Lance Corporal Poggi joined Wayne Messmer on the ice for the national anthem on Veterans Day as part of Military Appreciation Weekend, presented by Compass Heating and Air Conditioning Inc. and Sport Clips Haircuts.
