Always the community-minded lads, LCS Hockey will be auctioning off the original Darcy Tucker puppet for charity on Sunday, April 4.

Darcy Tucker Puppet

A one-of-a-kind item, the puppet rose to unmatched prominence as part of the hockey publication's Darcy Tucker Tribute Issue on March 10. Since then, a day hasn't gone by that the LCS Hockey offices haven't received phone calls, e-mails, and faxes requesting to buy the cherished brown paper bag. LCS Hockey is seizing the opportunity to once again raise money for the needy.

"I hate the idea of selling it," said LCS Hockey editor-in-chief Michael Dell. "I made the puppet with my own hands. I gave birth to it. Parting with it will be extremely traumatic. But what can I do? I need booze. I mean, poor people need food. Like soup and apples and whatnot. Gotta feed those poor bastards."

The auction is open to the public. To partake in this unique fund raising event, e-mail your bids to LCS Hockey at dell@lcshockey.com. Bids will be accepted beginning Wednesday, March 24. The deadline to submit a bid is 11PM EST on Sunday, April 4.

The puppet will come with a certificate of authenticity and a personalized letter from the desk of Michael Dell.

So bid early. Bid often. But most of all, bid with your heart.
