Supporting our Hockey Family

If Hockey is our Passion than community is our Heart. Today our Heart is with Harrison as he faces adversity. We hope he knows that we are all with him and believe in him! 

Today our hockey community is rallying together to support Harrison Yoshy, a young player who is battling an opponent that no child should ever face. Through it all, Harrison continues to show incredible strength, bravery, courage and heart—qualities that inspire everyone around him.

This journey has come with unexpected challenges for his family. With frequent medical appointments and treatments, one or both parents often need to step away from work to be at Harrison’s side, where they belong. The support raised through this page is meant to help ease some of the day-to-day pressures during this time, allowing the family to stay focused on Harrison’s health and comfort.
 
Hockey has always been a big part of Harrison’s life. It’s where he’s learned teamwork, resilience, and perseverance—values that are now carrying him through this fight. In the same way Harrison shows up for his teammates, we’re coming together as a community to support him and his family.
 
Any contribution, no matter the size, is deeply appreciated. If you’re unable to donate, sharing this page is another meaningful way to show your support. Thank you for standing with Harrison and his family during this incredibly difficult time.
 
As a small show of community support, helmet stickers will be available for free pickup at McPhail’s Cycle Sport in Uptown Waterloo.

Sponsors
Timbits
The Timbits Minor Sports Program is a community-oriented sponsorship program for children four to eight years old who participate in local house league sports teams. The program's philosophy is not based on winning or losing - but on learning a new sport, making new friends, and just taking time out to be a kid. Tim Hortons currently sponsors over 200,000 children who play on hockey, soccer, lacrosse, t-ball, baseball and ringette teams across Canada and in the United States. Each sponsored team is supplied with Timbits Minor Sports jerseys or T-shirts. Timbits hockey teams are often given the opportunity to play on-ice scrimmages during intermissions at Junior, American Hockey League (AHL) and National Hockey League (NHL) games and do so with our own KITCHENER JR. A RANGERS. Tim Horton's once again sponsor's our 40 entry level HL teams this year.

Monies for this cause have been donated by various individuals and organizations over the years, however with increasing demands we have the need to provide further support for this program. One hundred per cent of the funds raised by KIDS IN GEAR are channelled directly to purchase equipment for children.
