Help Support This Family After A Fire Struck Their Home
The Bayonne Badgers Hockey Club has organized a GoFundMe for the Kiniery family who recently suffered a house fire.
“From volunteering at the scoreboard to spearheading our fundraisers, Joe is always the first person to step up when someone needs a hand. Today, he and his family are the ones in need,” the GoFundMe states.
Every dollar raised will go directly towards helping Joe and his family recover from the fire. The funds will be used to cover:
- Repairing structural and interior fire and smoke damage.
- Replacing essential household items, clothing, and personal belongings lost in the fire.
- Covering immediate temporary living expenses and relocation costs while their home is being repaired.

Wicked Wolf Tavern In Hoboken Is Saying Goodbye In 2026
Wicked Wolf Tavern held a farewell party on Sunday to celebrate 15 years in Hoboken as they get ready to close their doors.
The restaurant located at 120 Sinatra Dr. opened its doors in 2010 and became a “go-to” place to enjoy drinks along the Hudson River.
“For 15 unforgettable years, Wicked Wolf has been more than a bar — it’s been a home, a meeting place, and a staple of Hoboken,” Wicked Wolf Tavern posted to Instagram.
“We’re beyond grateful to every guest who walked through our doors, shared a drink, celebrated milestones, danced on Sundays, and made memories with us.”
