Rico Phillips Speaking Engagement

Rico Phillips is the winner of the 2019 NHL Willie O’Ree Community Hero Award (presented to “an individual who – through the game of hockey – has positively impacted his or her community, culture or society”), and the Flint Jr. Firebirds, which features several past members of the Flint Inner City Youth Hockey program that Mr. Phillips created.

Players will also get the chance to ask questions and take pictures with the award.
