Hundreds gathered at Devine Rink on Sunday for the “Conor Crushes Cancer “Buzz Off,” an event put on by 8th grader Conor Olsen and his family to support those being treated for Hodgkin’s lymphoma, which Conor was diagnosed with in late February. He now is in a treatment program at Boston Children’s Hospital and has received tons of support from teammates on his Dorchester Youth Hockey Bantam Blue team. The community came out in force on Sunday, with many having their heads shaved and purchasing T-shirts and other items for Conor’s fundraiser.
Jamie Joyce entered Devine Rink with a full head of long hair, and a thick beard. After his ‘Buzz Off,’ he left with a tight shave cut and a very trim beard.
