Financial Assistance Programs

PHIL SCHNEIDER ASSISTANCE FUND

Phil Schneider was a great fan, coach, parent, association member, and volunteer for many years at Hudson Hockey.  Phil's family has decided to honor him with a generous memorial gift to HHA.

It is our distinct privilege to announce the implementation of the Phil Schneider Assistance Fund. As you know, HHA currently has a program to assist families in meeting their financial commitments with Registration Fees only.  The Phil Schneider Assistance Fund will be earmarked for the expenses that go beyond Registration Fees such as out-of-town tournament expenses (hotels, gas, meals), equipment, team fees, additional referee fees, and/or team spirit wear.  If your family is in need of financial assistance during the hockey season, please contact the HHA President at president@hudsonhockey.com 715.579.9190 or Treasurer at treasurer@hudsonhockey.com.  All assistance will remain confidential.  

Thank you to Jean, Jessica, Peter, Matt, and David Schneider.
