Hobart Ice Hockey

This year, with your help, Hobart Ice Hockey is ready to smash our fundraising goals. Athletics Day of Donors has been going strong for five years now, each year blasting through the previous year’s record. So this year, it’s for all the marbles, and we are in it to win it!

Hobart Ice Hockey needs your support in funding:

• The European trip has been pushed off for two years now due to travel restrictions. However, at this time, it looks realistic for the 22-23 team. Many of you experienced this special opportunity, and we remain committed to providing this for the players.
• The annual filming and video editing subscription fees have only increased. Gifts last year enabled us to get up-to-speed with the purchase of the XOS system. This is huge in our scouting and player development. Camera quality will be critical this year, and if the viewing option for fans remains remote, we need to upgrade our system to meet that need for this year and future years.
• Recruiting services and platforms is a rapidly changing field, and the results of purchasing Instat are obvious.
• Yearly special team opportunities/dinners/mementos and Hockey Helpers initiatives. We need to make up for lost moments here. It’s critical to the fabric and to providing the experiences expected of our student-athletes.
• Team travel/ equipment and team room initiatives. The ability to do more during team travel has been an equalizer for the program. Whether replacing a damaged piece of travel equipment or covering an additional expense, this funding area enables us to travel well, sleep well, eat well and play well.
• We intend to enhance professional development initiatives for players and coaches. Any time we can advance the program by bringing in a guest coach, impactful speaker or a part-time position coach, we want to explore that opportunity. This not only makes the players better, but also challenges and enhances the staff.

As always, your support is the backbone of our program's success. Without you, NONE of this would be possible! You help our athletes feel like champions every day!
