Hockey is about dreams: where do dreams start? Often when children "go outside to play" and play everything from hopscotch to stick ball to ballerina, their imagination is at its most vivid. When they romp around, young people are most likely to imagine they’re something bigger than they are and one of the best places to do that is on the ice. We must inspire dreams in children and playing hockey is a way to do that - it's magic and can help children feel alive, powerful and give them a sense of belonging eliminating their worries while increasing their self-esteem. The hockey rink is a safe haven letting children grow physically and mentally with confidence.
We welcome you to the Jason Ritchie Hockey Foundation, but more importantly we welcome you to Jason's life. We hope that through a mere website you can get a glimpse at what an awesome human being Jason was. It is our hope that we can inspire, mentor, and grow the youth of today and tomorrow.
