Lori Maly Fund - Application & Donations

Lori Maly earned the respect, admiration and gratitude of a generation of hockey families for her service, dedication and loyalty to the young skaters and families of Sabre Hockey. When her eldest wanted to play youth hockey, she threw herself into the sport, eventually becoming the Registrar for Sabre Hockey, a position she held for over 15 years. Lori was also the President of the Southwest Spring Hockey League. Lori was diagnosed with Stage IV Glioblastoma Multiforme, an incurable brain cancer, in May of 2008. Tough, determined and courageous throughout her ordeal, she continued her duties as Sabre Registrar. Lori lost her battle with cancer on April 7, 2010. Keeping in mind her qualities of loyalty, determination, courage and grace under extreme adversity, we are honored to announce the renaming of the Sabre Hockey Hardship Fund to the Lori Maly Fund.

We understand that unexpected hardships – such as job loss, illness, divorce, or the death of a loved one – can place a sudden financial burden on families.  To ensure that every child has the opportunity to continue playing hockey during difficult times, we are offering assistance with hockey fees for families experiencing temporary hardship.  If your family is in need of support, please don’t hesitate to submit an application.

The Lori Maly Fund is designed to help families through short-term periods of financial stress caused by hardships, and to offset a portion of a player’s fees when funding is available.  It is not designed as an annual subsidy.  This fund is not intended for families who would otherwise not be capable of financing their children’s hockey.
