I was there and I can tell you it was the very best combination of networking, fun and philanthropy.

As one of the newest members of the CommVault family, I was privileged to attend my first CommVault Hockey Helping Kids (HHK) event recently at the Boston Garden. Unlike our usual events, this one took place over a two-day period, in the Boston Bruins NHL venue, but instead of a Bruins game, attendees were treated to dinner and the NCAA Division I Hockey Semi-Finals on Friday evening, March 22nd. This was not a typical one-day HHK event that takes place on NHL ice in conjunction with a game, usually between rival teams. No, this was a different kind of night, but a special one for me.

We've locked down our schedule and we've even managed to book some serious rivalry games around the country as featured events in our hockey schedule.

I've been pleasantly surprised by the positive response from the industry and from the CommVault and Microsoft field organizations as they begin to work together.

We're grateful that our Platinum sponsors; Microsoft and Dell/Compellent as well as the Minnesota Whitecaps (Best USA Women players on the planet) have joined us this season to help various children's charities. Our first of three (maybe four) events this season benefited the Autism Society of Minnesota. Together with the help of the Minnesota Wild hockey club, we raised over $10,000 for the AuSM in their efforts to enhance the lives of individuals with Autistic Spectrum Disorders.
