People poured into the Elks Lodge on West Fifth Street in Oswego Sunday morning, happy to buy a breakfast and enjoy some pancakes, eggs, bacon and other staples with friends and family. It was all for a good cause. The Friends of Hospice in Oswego County (FOHOC) hosted its sixth annual Hotcakes for Hospice breakfast with the help of the SUNY Oswego men's hockey team. For head coach Ed Gosek, it is a way to give back to the community while honoring the memory of his wife, Mary, who died in hospice care in 2017. ... The Lakers were outside holding signs by Bridge Street and inside helping serve food and clean tables for guests. ... Elena Twiss, executive director of FOHOC, said that bringing in the hockey team was a great way to bring the community together, and that the players and coaches have been a valuable resource all six years they've helped out.
