Helping Active Duty and Veterans Through Hockey

How can hockey help?

 

We pride ourselves on taking care of our team members. We provide active duty service-members and veterans alike a productive outlet that allows them to give back to their own community. The brotherhood our teams develop is only second to the brotherhood they experienced in the service.

Beginnings

Born in October 2011
Founder: Marv Floer III

The team was assembled with the intention of allowing service member and veterans in Southern California to give back to their community and pay homage to those who went before them. Hockey can bring people together, and playing in charity games allows the Patriots to raise money and awareness for Veteran's issues and charities. 

As of 2016 Patriots Hockey became a proud program of Fighting For Home Sports a 501(c)(3) non-profit. With our new partners we are going to bring a sense of family and belonging to more service members, Veterans, and their families.

Program Overview

Our program centers around our players. While our overall mission is to give back to the veteran and hockey communities, we are continuously bringing in new members to the program. Our players come from every branch, and every hockey background from juniors to street hockey. Patriots Hockey strives to develop all of our players, no matter their skill level, in an environment that fosters brotherhood. If you ask any of our players, hockey is a form of therapy.

Come watch us play hockey! Buy something from our online store (COMING SOON) or make a donation.

It really is that simple. The proceeds from our charity games are donated to other non-profits and are used to sustain our operations and bring hockey to more Veterans and Service Members!

If you have any other ideas about how you would like to help the Patriots Hockey Program succeed in our mission to allow service members and veterans give back to their community through hockey please contact us at patriots.hockeyteam@gmail.com.
