From Humble Beginnings to Community Action

In 2011, we bonded as a small group with a vision and purpose. Since then, we have carried on with our goal of offering a positive hockey community in Colorado. Our ability to help comes from outside donations and relies on the hard work of our all-volunteer staff. Every contribution we receive is fed back into DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation. Nobody is excluded from our team, as we focus on making a difference for those in need through our hockey non-profit organization.

Empathy and Enthusiasm
Shared With the Hockey Community

DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation is a thriving hockey non-profit organization built on the passion we share for ice hockey. To us, it’s more than a sport — it means community. No other game combines lightning fast speeds and non-stop action quite like it. As a result, hockey continues to foster a tight knit community. Our members act on the lessons learned on the ice by providing assistance and opportunities to individuals and families experiencing difficult times. DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation is always looking to grow our impact by hosting national and international amateur ice hockey events and by opening our rink to participants of all physical abilities to play.

    2021 Recap

    DAWG Nation showed up with full force once again and set a new fundraising record for during our 11th Stand Up for DAWG Nation Comedy Night. Thank you for your commitment and support!

    We toasted to Miles Batchelder and family John and Krista Batchelder in celebration of Miles ringing the remission bell. We shared laughs with our dear friends from St. Louis, Jon Orelt and teammates Jared Schmierbach and Matthew Heath. We cheered on Van Stone and Nicole Stone for his return to the ice. Of course the night wouldn't be complete without a check presentation. We were honored to surprise Joe Bradley with a check and a Survivor jersey to celebrate his victory over cancer. We are honored to walk alongside these families in their journeys.

    We are able to make these memorable moments possible, thanks to your commitment and donations. Special thanks to Eric Goodman for helping us to raise funds as a TEAM! And of course, our comedians, Derrick Stroup, Geoff Tice and Talon Saucerman stole the show and provided us all with a much needed belly laugh!
