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. Thank you to Jean, Jessica, Peter, Matt, and David Schneider.
The Phil Schneider Assistance Fund is earmarked for 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 or HHA Treasurer. All assistance will remain confidential.
