“Just like last year, the Huntsville Havoc had a presence at the event with six players from the minor league hockey team participating. The Procopio brothers, Dom and Gio, coached the teams with Austin Alger, Craig McCabe, Connor Fries and Cole Reginato serving as referees.
Additionally, local announcer Clay Coleman, a media member of the Havoc and high school football announcer for James Clemens, returned in that role while mascots Chaos and Rukus did their best to stir up the crowd in the stands.” “Among the players were owners of the two primary sponsors — Steve Smith, whose company Vali Inc. sponsored Battle of the Brave for a second straight year, and Heath Ware, who owns Ware Welding.
They took the ceremonial faceoff. Daphne Ware dropped the puck and was flanked by her son Connor Ware, 14, and Smith’s grandson, 11-year-old Eli Wallace.”
