The season of giving continued this week as the Ducks hosted low-income youth from the Santa Ana-based nonprofit organization The Wooden Floor at Target in the Irvine Spectrum, for a holiday shopping spree the kids won’t soon forget.
Ten Ducks players, along with their wives and significant others, treated 24 students currently enrolled in the arts-based youth development program to gifts such as books, toys, clothes and shoes.
“It’s the holiday season, and I think it’s a great opportunity for us as players to give back to the community,” said Ducks forward Carl Hagelin.
