Before the war started a number of Ukrainian hockey teams from all over the country (Kharkiv, Odesa, Kramatorsk and other parts of Ukraine) have been participating in the tournament in Poland. In light of russian aggression, the players and coaching staff were unable to return home and thus are currently being stationed in the Polish city of Sanok, <br /><br />For the past month, Poland's Hockey Development Foundation (Fundacja Rozwoju Hokeja) has been taking care of the players, coaches  and their families, but their resources are limited and they need help. With My Polish - Ukrainian heritage I have decided to help out with more permanent accommodation, access to ice, hockey equipment and other means to ensure they can continue to stay in Sanok. <br /><br />Poland's Hockey Development Foundation (Fundacja Rozwoju Hokeja - <a href="https://www.facebook.com/fundacjarh" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://www.facebook.com/fundacjarh</a>) is now hosting 67 child hockey players as well as their siblings and mothers (138 people total) in temporary accommodations in Sanok, Poland.<br /><br />Poland's Hockey Development Foundation needs help to fund short-term accommodation options in Poland, as well as food, medicine, and other primary needs for athletes - as well as their equipment to ensure that they can continue to play the sport even during those times. We are also looking to help move some or all families to Canada to help reduce the immense burden placed on Polish communities and ensure that kids have the best shots in life despite these life-changing events.<br /><br />Link to the local news agency highlighting the story - <a href="https://sport.tvp.pl/59162498/ukrainskie-dzieci-dotarly-do-sanoka-mlodzi-hokeisci-potrzebuja-pomocy/amp"><a href="https://sport.tvp.pl/59162498/ukrainskie-dzieci-dotarly-do-sanoka-mlodzi-hokeisci-potrzebuja-pomocy/amp" target="_blank" class="" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer">https://sport.tvp.pl/59162498/ukrainskie-dzieci-dotarly-do-sanoka-mlodzi-hokeisci-potrzebuja-pomocy/amp</a></a><br /><br />
