The Jason Ritchie Hockey Foundation is a nonprofit 501(c)3 organization dedicated to providing resources to help young athletes grow through hockey. The Foundation was founded in 2009 by Donna Ritchie after her son Jason was tragically killed in a car accident. Even in the midst of unspeakable grief, the Ritchie family knew that Jason’s love for hockey could and should live on. The Ritchie Hockey Foundation serves student athletes like Jason who play their hearts out. These kids develop strength of character, selflessness, and drive through hockey. They know that success on the ice requires persistence, teamwork, and commitment. We know that those same qualities foster success in life. Talented and driven young athletes should only be limited by the size of their dreams and the depth of their commitment, never by the availability of financial resources. That’s where we come in. We lead skills clinics and award scholarships to deserving student-athletes who need our help to continue growing through hockey.
