For players like Jason, hockey is more than just a sport -- it is a passion that builds lifelong character. Hockey promotes commitment, teamwork, and persistence. Players work hard and demonstrate a strong will to succeed that carries over into their everyday lives and futures.

The Jason Ritchie Memorial Hockey Scholarship Fund believes the best way for our children to gain the life skills neccessary to succeed is to embrace hockey and all of its teachings on and off the ice. Our goal is to provide resources and mentoring to those children who share in Jason's drive and dedication, but lack the tools needed to succeed. It is in the foundation and boards interest to help children realize their goals. We honor Jason by helping those in need and giving forward.
