Marcus Noble grew up playing hockey at Queensbury school in upstate NY. While still living locally and working at the family business in South Glens Falls, he continued to play hockey with his former classmates and teammates in a men’s league throughout his adult life. When the pandemic cut their season short in 2020, no one knew that Marcus would soon be diagnosed with ALS at age 33 and would never skate again.

Now four years into his diagnosis, Marcus finds so much joy in watching his lifelong hockey friends bring the community together to fundraise beside Drop the Gloves with ALS to provide financial support to St Peter’s Regional ALS Center to help them continue to provide the resources to assist others in a similar situation as his own. As his symptoms progress, Marcus requires more care and equipment as well. Last year he agreed to accept a portion of the funds raised to help ease the financial burden and will also be accepting some of the funds again this year.

Over the last two years of this event we have raised over $75,000 and we are excited to begin this years fundraising ahead of the hockey tournament weekend! Whether you plan to join in person on March 29th in Glens Falls, or send support from afar, we appreciate it all! Visit our Facebook and Instagram pages for updates and to follow the fun!
