We are incredibly excited (and humbled) to share that Rori has been invited to compete in the 2026 U14 World Selects Invitational Girls Tournament in Chamonix, France. This is an elite international hockey event that brings together top young players from around the world. Rori has been playing hockey since she was just 4 years old, and developed a deep love for the game. From early morning practices to countless hours training on and off the ice, her love for the game and dedication have never wavered. She is known for her strong work ethic, coachability, and passion for constantly improving, not just as a player, but as a teammate and leader. Coming from a small hockey community so far north, this opportunity means everything to her. It’s a chance to represent Alaska and American girls hockey on an international stage, compete against elite talent from around the globe, and gain unforgettable life and hockey experience.

While we are so proud of Rori’s hard work and determination, the costs associated with this opportunity are significant. Funds raised will help cover tournament fees, travel from Alaska to Europe, team uniforms, and other expenses needed for Rori to participate. Every donation, no matter the size, brings her one step closer to making this dream a reality. We are deeply grateful for any support you can offer—whether it’s a contribution, sharing this fundraiser, or cheering Rori on from afar. Thank you for helping us give her this once-in-a-lifetime chance!
