Michael Schamis- The New Jersey Devils and the Street Devils
By Michael Schamis
Introduction
Possessing experience in marketing, business development, and public relations, Michael Schamis currently assists customers at Mister Wright Fine Wines and Spirits in New York City. While earning his master of business administration in sports and entertainment management from Hofstra University, Michael Schamis served as a marketing intern with the New Jersey Devils.
Having celebrated its 40th year in the National Hockey League (NHL) during the 2014-2015 season, the New Jersey Devils remains an indelible part of the Garden State. One way it stays active within its community is through philanthropic endeavors, such as the Street Devils.
Jersey Devils
Developed with the NHL, Street Devils functions as a street hockey program for boys and girls between the ages of 6 and 16. Since its founding in 1997, the program has provided physical activity and lessons in teamwork to more than 18,000 youths.
Over 100 parks, schools, youth clubs, and community centers have become part of the Street Devils family. The Devils and the NHL donate pucks, balls, goal tender gear, and other street hockey equipment to these organizations; all the players need are a pair of sneakers. Moreover, the New Jersey Devils hosts street hockey clinics for coaches and administrators.
