On September 19, it was announced that Angela Ruggiero (ice hockey, 1998, '02, '06) has been appointed the Director of Charles B. Wang Ice Hockey "Project Hope," a new Islanders program aimed at providing young Chinese athletes with access to higher education. Ruggiero will also assist former Islanders player Steve Webb in developing hockey programs for boys and girls on Long Island. In recent years, she has worked with non-profit organizations such as Right to Play, The Women's Sports Foundation, and TeamsofAngels.com.
"I am very excited to work…as part of this truly humanitarian effort," said Ruggiero. "I hope that I can use my background and energy to make a difference in the lives of many children, both globally and locally."
Angela is also appearing in NBC's new season of "The Apprentice" which debuted on January 7, 2007. Angela is one of the 17 candidates who will vie for the coveted title of "The Apprentice" and the opportunity to work alongside the legendary business tycoon, Donald Trump.
