Mayor Martin Walsh kicked off day two of the three- day Dot Pot street hockey tournament on Saturday at Garvey Playground in Neponset. The 24-team tournament was launched four years ago by friends Ryan Sweeney, Peter Cahill and Timmy Galvin. Proceeds for the now-annual event go to support local charities. This year, the focus was on Katie McDonough, who spent two years battling cancer. The proceeds will go to her family, the National Ovarian Cancer Coalition, and the Joe Andruzzi Foundation.
