The Grand Rapids Griffins are having a great season.

They're leading their division by at least 10 points, and continue great play, even though so many stars of the team continue to make the trip east and play with the NHL's Detroit Red Wings.

The Griffins are such an important part of the community, and they continue to give-back to West Michigan, with this weekend being a part of that support.
