NHL Challenge Coins partner with Los Angeles Kings' Luc Robitaille for a great cause!

LOS ANGELES, CA, Sept. 23, 2015 /PRNewswire/ - NHL Challenge Coins - http://www.NHLChallengeCoins.com - is excited to announce its partnership with Los Angeles Kings Hockey Hall of Famer Luc Robitaille and his charity Echoes of Hope (http://www.echoesofhope.org)!

NHL Challenge Coins are the only licensed NHL challenge coins (once again being renewed for the upcoming 2015-2016 and 2016-2017 seasons) on the market globally, and have been embraced by teams and fans alike. NHL teams such as the Washington Capitals and the Buffalo Sabres have adopted the century old military tradition of the challenge coin award, presenting their teams' challenge coin to military members during in-game salutes. Additionally, limited edition coins have been created for events such as the NHL Winter Classic and Stanley Cup champions. Legendary players including Teemu Selanne, Guy Hebert, Scott Neidermeyer, Grant Fuhr and long time sportscaster Roy Firestone are all NHL Challenge Coin fans and owners.

Kevin Tuohy, a former member of the United States Air Force and a retired firefighter of 34 years who now serves as the CEO of NHL Challenge Coins, has created a special charity coin to raise funds for Luc Robitaille and his wife Stacia Rae Robitaille's organization Echoes of Hope, which assists young people in Los Angeles and around the country to achieve many milestones, including bachelors, masters and law degrees.

In a statement to the media, Robitaille comments, "It was a lot of fun working with Kevin Tuohy and NHL Challenge Coins on creating the special Echoes of Hope charity coin and now being a part of such a powerful history that challenge coins bring forth. My wife and I hope this coin will help raise funds that will go towards our foundation which benefits the lives of low income current and emancipated foster youth."

On working with Robitaille, Tuohy reveals, "Working with Luc has been an amazing experience. From day one we worked hand-in-hand on the design of the E.O.H. charity coin and we are proud to support Luc and his wife's incredible organization through the challenge coin tradition. It's exciting to see this great military tradition spread to the sporting world, and to see it being used for so much good."

The E.O.H. coin will be available via http://www.echoesofhope.org. Other NHL Challenge Coins are available now through http://www.NHLChallengeCoins.com, as well as the NHL's online store (http://www.shop.NHL.com) and select NHL team stores & retail outlets.
