Volunteering at a Homeless Shelter

[ahockeyguy 110]

               With all of Wolf Stansson’s troubles with public image and the media lately, it was a bit of surprise to come across some good news with respect to the Miami Marauders defenseman. Earlier this week, Stansson could be seen volunteering at a local homeless shelter. Homeless individuals without a place to shelter during Miami’s scorching summers are invited to come to the Local City Mission, where free meals, a warm shower, and a clean bed and room are provided. Stansson’s role here is infrequent, mostly due to his hockey schedule.

 

               “He comes in when he can, he works the lunch line, talk with some of the residents, and help clean up afterward,” says Aisha Random-Lady of Stansson. “Wolf never makes a big deal about who he is; you never see him trying to get people to recognize him” This is probably a good thing, as a minor-league hockey player who tries to garner attention to how famous he is or thinks he should be is probably off-putting. Nonetheless, even as this reporter is composing this brief update, Stansson is totally unaware I am even here. He simply asks them if they would like one roll or two, places it on the tray, and moves on down. Because I did not interview him, I can only speculate as to why Stansson does what he does. This seeming dichotomy between Stansson the man and Stansson the player undoubtedly will be resolved for us one day.
