The RMH-LI Cup: Four Teams. One Mission

On January 10, 2012 the Suffolk Juniors defeated the Long Island Royals and took the win for the RMH-LI Championship Game on NY Islander ice. Four participating teams competed in preliminary games to make their way to the championship game at Nassau Coliseum and have their team name engraved on the treasured RMH-LI Cup, all for a great cause.

The RMH-LI Cup is the most prestigious junior hockey tournament in the Long Island / New York City area featuring the four most storied junior programs: New York Apple Core, Suffolk Juniors, Long Island Royals and Metro Moose.

RMH-LI would like to thank all participating teams, their coaches and families for their dedication to our mission. In addition to raising funds to benefit the House, each team participated in our Dinner Program, where they prepared home-cooked meals for our resident families.

Brilliant Brainstorming Results in a Homier House

A collaborative effort between RMH-LI and the Judith C. White Foundation facilitated the installation of new television units in RMH-LI's 42 bedrooms. By merging two brilliant development teams, an intense brainstorming session resulted in allowing RMH-LI to proceed with the project by receiving Coby television units for each room at wholesale price, in addition to a generous donation from DirecTV to defray the cost of upgrading the House's service. With the growing number of families in need and the recent expansion of Cohen Children's Medical Center, the JCW Foundation's support will help families de-stress after an emotional day at the hospital and make RMH-LI feel even more like a home-away-from-home.
