I don't have any athletes in my family and when my daughter goes to the local arena it's to see something new or inspiring....

Last weekend the Slave Lake All Girls U18 hockey team won the Alberta Provincial Championships! Some of our players are only 13, playing against city teams of 16-19 year olds

On April 7 the Vancouver Goldeneyes and Boston Fleet of the PWHL (Pro Women Hockey League) are playing in Edmonton for the first time ever. The best part? The tickets are dirt cheap compared to the NHL ;)

The local minor hockey association and schools are perfectly built to treat everyone with equity and equality, finding shared outcomes and abilities, and all kids are indeed special. Slave Lake is filled with amazing athletes, scholars, champions of all kinds but this GoFundMe isn't about them. I'm just a guy whose daughter was inspired by these young women in her school, and I'd like to help these local champs and hopefully other young women in Slave Lake to go be inspired by some PWHL Hockey, women that are breaking ground in a new league.

Every post secondary campus and many workplaces recognize women's sports as valuable, and for some of these girls it's hard to feel competitive in a male centric sports society -- but when motivated with scholarships and mentors there's no limits to their future. Please send me $20 or more and every penny will go to the parent organizer of an event to get these special young women (and other girl sporty friends that want to go..?) to a fun rare event to celebrate their victory and the power of women's sports around two weeks from now.

Funds will buy tickets at $30-40 each in a block I've already set aside with a down payment.

If excess funds are raised they will be used to charter a bus so these champs and friends can travel together. This is not a school or SLMHA event with waivers and chaperones, so please don't waste their valuable time with drama - only mine.....

If excess funds are raised past some girls having a riot they will be donated into the Slave Lake Women's hockey and other sport programs to continue to grow more champions for the future
