PLEASE HELP THE STRANDED UKRAINIAN
YOUTH HOCKEY TEAM & COACHES

You are receiving this email because you are part of the wonderful world of ice hockey!

These kids need our help!

This February, I had the pleasure of coaching a Master Class for the HC SDYUSSHOR (Sports School) of KHARKIV, UKRAINE. A few days later, the 2007 team traveled to Hungary for a tournament. Little did they know, Russia would invade Ukraine, and block them from returning to their panicked families, and mostly destroyed homes. These young boys with their coaches have been stranded in Europe traveling from city to city seeking shelter, and support from local hockey associations for over three weeks.

Currently, they have found a temporary shelter, and support in small town of Sanok, Poland. It is unknown how long they are going to be able to stay as this town is very small and unprepared for such a long term commitment. The players and coaches were only prepared for being on the road for three days, now it’s been over three weeks, they do not have necessary clothing, medical supplies, and money for even meals. 

Your urgent assistance is greatly needed! Thank you in advance for your assistance. Contact me with any questions.
