Eight years ago, my son, Scotty Gomez, was offered his first contract to play NHL hockey.  I never knew when he was young, that he would turn his favorite pastime into a career.  But I do know, all too well, how expensive the sport can be - kids grow fast and they can go through a lot of equipment.  Costs for this sport can spiral out of control quickly.  Because of the high expense of hockey, some kids don’t ever get the opportunity to skate, and we’d like to change that.

It is Scotty’s desire, and his family’s, to lend significant financial support to the youth hockey community in Alaska. We’ve created the Scotty Gomez Foundation to raise funds which will be returned to young players in Alaska who need a “scholarship” to be able to afford to keep playing.  Who knows where Alaska’s next hockey star will come from?  We’re committed to helping make sure that every young player at least gets a chance to pursue the dream that my son is living right now.

Thank you, sincerely, for your support.
