The event is a brain child of Travis Roy, a Former Boston University Hockey player who was paralyzed from the neck down during a hockey collision in 1995.
His foundation, The Travis Roy Foundation and Franciscan Children's in Brighton hold this annual tournament to raise funds and to share the awareness about those who suffer from crippling injuries.
Nearly 32 Boston area organizations participated in this event raisng more than $500,000 dollars.
The WBZ NewsRadio1030 squad went 1-and-1, including a 2-nothing shutout of the group from Oxford Properties.
Reporter Ben "Cy Young" Parker tossed 3 shutout innings in the win, while WBZ tagged former Red Sox hurler Lenny DiNardo for both runs in his 3 frames.
