WORCESTER, MA - Worcester Sharks President and CEO Michael T. Lehr announced that Worcester Sharks goaltender Alex Stalock will wear a specially designed W6 Tribute Mask to raise money and awareness for the Worcester Fire Scholarship Program and the Shriners Hospitals for Children.
San Jose Sharks goaltending prospect Alex Stalock has agreed to wear and autograph a specially designed W6 Tribute Mask for games in late November through December 6th while playing for the Worcester Sharks in the American Hockey League.

On December 3, 1999 a five-alarm fire began in the Worcester Cold Storage Warehouse in Worcester, Massachusetts and raged for six days. Six brave firefighters lost their lives, Firefighters Paul Brotherton, Jeremiah Lucey, Timothy Jackson, James Lyons, Joseph McGuirk and Lieutenant Thomas Spencer.
On this tenth year anniversary, the Worcester Sharks have partnered with the Worcester Fire and Police Departments to honor these six individuals and to raise funds for the Worcester Fire Scholarship Program and the burn care unit at the Shriners Hospitals for Children.
