Pucks for Autism faces Detroit Red Wings alumni in charity game at Notre Dame
SOUTH BEND, Ind. (WNDU) – Notre Dame’s Compton Family Ice Arena played host on Saturday night to a hockey match between the Pucks for Autism team and alumni of the Detroit Red Wings of the NHL.
This event is part Pucks for Autism charity games, in which the organization travels to various hockey arenas across the country to promote autism acceptance during the 2024-25 NHL season.
“Pucks for Autism is a 501(c)(3) charity that my husband and I started in honor of our son, Henry,” explained Eva Pheiffer. “From that, we have grown exponentially from being just a small tournament once a year. We now have our large tournament every year in June, but we also have several tournaments throughout the year, like this one where we raise money and donate to local charities or local facilities that also assist with special needs children and adults.”
Pucks for Autism welcomes players of all skill levels and abilities to join them for the once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to play on NHL ice.
Proceeds from Saturday night’s game will benefit Camp Milhouse, which has deep roots here in Michiana as a residential camp for people with disabilities.

Vehicles travel through water collected near water main break in Detroit.
DETROIT (FOX 2) – A water main break in Detroit is causing headaches for drivers and sending water into the streets of one of the city’s east side neighborhoods.
The break involves a 42-inch pipeline at East Jefferson and Burns Drive.
The breakage happened on Sunday, leaving only one lane open for each direction of travel.
Local perspective:
A day after the breakage, water was still gathering on the road of Jefferson Avenue.
Video captured of the scene Monday morning showed vehicles driving through ponds of water. Construction equipment were on site along with traffic cones.
The backstory:
This isn’t the only major disruption to water services in the region.
This weekend, a catastrophic breakage at 14 Mile near Drake impacted several Oakland County communities and thousands of residents.
Novi and Walled Lake were among those hardest hit by the breakage, which included dramatic scenes of waves of water washing down the road, submerging vehicles.
The Source: FOX 2’s Charlie Langton and previous reporting were cited for this story.
A water main break in Detroit Saturday night has forced lane closures on a road on the city’s east side, according to city officials.
The incident on East Jefferson Avenue near Burns Avenue was reported around 9 p.m. Officials said a 42-inch water main in the area ruptured.
“Crews responded immediately early Sunday morning to shut off the main and to begin preparing for repairs,” Detroit officials said in a news release.
All residents in the area should have service “due to redundancy in the water system,” according to officials. Anyone who doesn’t is asked to call the Detroit Water and Sewerage Department at 313-267-8000.
As of Sunday afternoon, the city has not issued a boil water advisory and says there are no issues with street flooding.
Repairs are expected to begin on Monday and officials estimate they will be completed “around the middle of the week.”
One lane in each direction of East Jefferson Avenue will remain open at and around the area of the break until repairs are done, and bike lanes at the repair location will be closed.
Officials are asking motorists who drive through the area to budget additional time for their commute or seek an alternate route until all lanes reopen.
