Hi everyone! I’m Tate, a 17 yr old defenseman, who’s been playing hockey since I was two years old.

I recently playing my sophomore and junior year in Jamestown, ND. I’m thrilled to share that I got asked by the Rocky Mountain Moose 18U AAA for the upcoming season!

My mom works for a non-profit and my dad is a special ed teacher so funds are tight. That is why put together this GoFundMe!

Why the Moose Program Is My Next Step

-Top tier competition in showcases across Canada and major U.S. cities.

-A demanding development program: 90+ team practices on ice, 50+ structured off-ice strength & conditioning sessions, and video review, all led by a certified staff.

Why I’m Raising $17,000

-Joining Moose takes more than just talent, it takes resources, I need to cover: training camps, team gear, tournaments, travel accommodations in Canada and the U.S., hotel stays, meals. That’s why I’ve set a campaign goal of $17,000 total, to make sure I can fully commit and represent this team with purpose and focus.

What Makes This Opportunity Special

-I’ll be growing not just as a hockey player, but as a leader of faith on the team

-Playing AAA hockey means competing against elite athletes, strengthening my work ethic, and maintaining academic and spiritual integrity

-I’ve already been self-sufficient working in deckbuilding and window installation for the last few years to help pay for hockey. Now I’m asking for support in this next step beyond the grind
