St. Louis Hockey Tournament Provides Fun and Funds for Needy Students
St. Louis hockey tournament will provide fun for participants and money for scholarships.
St. Louis, MO (PRWEB) August 11, 2005 -- St. Louis hockey tournament will
provide fun for participants and money for scholarships.
August 26-28th
eight hockey teams will be cooling off at the Summit Center Ice rink in
Chesterfield. Their goal is to score a few, and raise some money for the Michael
J. Daehn Scholarship Fund. “This is a chance for some of the guys to get
together play hockey and raise some money for my Dad’s scholarship fund,” said
Daehn, one of the tournament’s organizers. “My Dad loved sports and I think he
would be excited about this tournament.”
The Michael J. Daehn scholarship
fund was started this year and plans to award its first scholarships this Fall.
“The tuition scholarship is open to any student,” said Daehn. “All they have to
do is apply and write an essay about servant leadership. I have been setting
aside money and hope to add to the amount we can give to students this
year.”
This tournament promises to be an improvement over some recent
hockey events in the area. “We have played in a couple of local tournaments put
on by people who don’t live in St. Louis,” said Greg Hausman the co-organizer of
the tournament. “The problem is those people don’t know the teams and players,
which often leads to mismatched play.” Daehn and Hausman were able to add extra
games, provide better jerseys, t-shirts, trophies, giveaways and still cut the
price. “Our goal is to have some fun with our St. Louis friends playing hockey,
not to just get their money,” said Hausman. “Plus we can make a few dollars for
the scholarship fund at the same time, it’s a win for everyone.”
The
tournament, called Puckfest, has eight teams in two divisions and will be played
at the Summit Center Ice Rink in Chesterfield. “Since I know most of the
players, I was able to place teams in either the upper or lower division,” said
Hausman. “This should provide better match-ups and be more fun for everyone.
Plus, two teams have a chance at the championship.”
