MANCHESTER - Usually, seeing professional hockey involves some long term planning and several hours of driving to the nearest venue. But on July 27, professional hockey is coming to Bennington County when Riley Rink hosts the Pro-Am Hockey Fund-raiser presented by the Bennington Autism Task Force.
This year about 20 professional hockey players from the National Hockey League (NHL), American Hockey League (AHL) and European Pro Leagues will descend on Manchester to participate in the 7 p.m. game.

Last year's game - the first time the event was held - raised $7,000 and this year Chris Ams, the president of Riley Rink, said the goal is to reach $10,000.
