Southwest Minneapolis Hockey has taken in five of these players who love the game and wanted to experience 'association' hockey. We need some help from our friends in Minnesota Hockey.
As everyone knows, it costs around $1,000 to $1,300 to put a kid on the ice and all of the expenses (not to mention those out of town hotels!).
In addition, these kids, due to family or financial situations need a driver and a vehicle. We need just over $1,500 to cover driver costs for these players, vehicle costs, gas, and maintenance. In fact, as of January 1 SWHA will need to 'bridge' money to the New Directions program to make sure these kids can get to the rinks.
If hockey has been good for your kid as it has been for mine, we could use your help in helping others experience the game. Any donation amount will be helpful Please PM me regarding more information on how you can help us.
Thanks and Happy New Year!
