Bikers show support for injured teen hockey player

NORWOOD, Mass. -- Bikers brought out their hogs to show their support for an injured high school hockey player Sunday.

The second ‘Matt Brown #3 Ride’ took place in Norwood, three being Matt's jersey number.

All of the proceeds benefit Matt and his family with their mounting medical bills.

The teen suffered a spinal cord injury while playing hockey last year.

The injury left him wheelchair bound.

Matt said Sunday’s event was very special for him.

“It was breathtaking, it was loud and breathtaking,” he said. “I know I’m not going to be able to thank every one of them, but it was unbelievable.”

Last year's ride raised almost $15,000 for Matt and his family.
