Chuck Gabringer, a Dayton native, attended Wayne High School and Wright State University. His family's connection with Dayton hockey began in 1964 when his oldest brother Jim won the Dayton Daily News contest to name the new hockey team the "Gems." He helped organize the Lefty McFadden College Hockey Invitational, which ran from 2002-2007 at the Nutter Center, and was a member of the Dayton Hockey Hall of Fame election committee. He authored Hockey in Dayton in 2015 and is currently working on a follow-up devoted to the original Dayton Gems.

This program is sponsored by the Wright State University Libraries, Friends of the Libraries, Special Collections & Archives, and the Dayton Hockey Foundation.
