21 X $500 Grants
Game On! Our Hockey Hero Cammi is looking for US girls who love the sport and could use some extra help getting on the ice this season.
What if the next Cammi Granato doesn’t have the opportunity to get on the ice this season? The Cammi Granato Hockey Heroes program has launched to encourage girls in the US to get into the wonderful game of hockey. #21 has had a storied hockey career and wanted the opportunity to give back to the game. Cammi grew up in a very busy home in Downers Grove, Illinois with 4 brothers and 1 sister, and the cost of sport was always a challenge for her parents as they looked to keep their kids in the game they love. They played many games on their backyard rink, but when it came to playing organized hockey, there were no girls leagues around for Cammi to join. She played with boys teams for years, and went on to an incredible career, first becoming Providence College’s all-time leading goal scorer, then as Team Captain for the 1998 gold-medal winning US Women’s Olympic hockey team. As the all-time leading scorer in the US women’s program with an incredible 343 points in 205 career games, Cammi was inducted into the Hockey Hall of Fame in 2010, and currently was the first scout hired with the NHL’s Seattle Kraken, as well as running yearly hockey camps and a busy sports household with her kids
