Troy Smith is an 18 year old who not only loves playing ice hockey, but he is good at it. We just returned home from the Global Las Vegas Showcase where Troy was approached/contacted by 15+ teams from across the US and Canada. Moving up to playing Juniors in USPHL is exciting, but very expensive. His heart is set on playing locally for the Long Beach Bombers. They just offered him a contract to play this upcoming season (if we sign, you’ll be able to watch him play). We are over the moon excited, however, it will cost OVER $9,000 to be on the team (cost includes all travel, hotels, food, gloves and a team bag). Even though Troy is working, he cannot afford it alone.

We are reaching out to ask you to help Troy achieve his goals. With the loss of his dad to kidney cancer, we struggle just to keep our household running. We are trying desperately to keep Troy's hockey dreams alive. In the past, many of you have come alongside us to help pay for his team's dues. Without you, he would not be playing hockey still. We are truly grateful for every penny given to keep him on the ice in this highly expensive sport. If you have ANY questions about my finances or his fees/dues, please don't hesitate to ask. I will share whatever financial information you need. If you wish to sponsor him directly through the team for a tax write off, please contact me for further information. Thank you for your kindness and support ❤
