About Us
DAWG Nation is built to help our hockey family in times of need.
Our Origin
How DAWG Nation Began
In January of 2011, a small group of adult recreation league hockey players made a pledge to honor a fallen teammate by creating a very unique foundation focused on helping families in their time of need. Utilizing a very successful strategy consisting of several annual fundraisers, we have provided financial support totaling over $5 million in direct aid to families!

Magic Moments
Our Support Model
DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation utilizes an eight step program called the Wrap Around Effect. This powerful program analyzes the needs of families and individuals that have suffered a life changing injury, illness or even death. Our program includes financial assistance, but goes way beyond that. This could include financial counseling, legal support, home repairs or modifications, mental health support, housing, transportation, adaptability and accessibility, mentoring, scholarships, support networks, and creating intentional emotional and community support. In addition, it’s our ability to provide some truly memorable experiences that are the cornerstone of DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation and help create real hope and joy in a recipient’s life.
