Several media outlets, including the Portland Press Herald, Bangor Daily News, WABI (Channel 5) and WVII (Channel 7) reported University of Maine men’s ice hockey coach Red Gendron will annually donate 5 percent of his salary to the Grant Standbrook Maine Hockey Forever Fund. Tom and Sally Savage have pledged $1 million to match endowment gifts from UMaine men’s ice hockey players and coaches. Standbrook, UMaine’s assistant men’s ice hockey coach and primary recruiter from 1988 to 2008, won national titles with the Black Bears in 1993 and 1999. The Associated Press report of the Standbrook Fund ran in papers nationwide.
