<div>Welcome to the Ultimate Goalie Showdown: Where Hockey's Heart Shines

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>In the hockey world, we like to say we're a family. And sometimes, that family shows up in ways that go far beyond the rink.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Last summer, Valentino "Tino" Beckmann was living every young hockey player's dream. Fresh off making the AHU Knights 8U travel team, he was ready to hit the ice when life threw him an unexpected challenge. Tino landed in the Phoenix Children's ICU, fighting a battle no seven-year-old should have to face.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But the hockey community rallied.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Eddie Läck, former NHL goaltender, heard about Tino's fight and sent him a heartfelt video message — goalie to goalie. When Eddie found out Tino's favorite team was the New Jersey Devils, he took it one step further and had Devils star Jesper Bratt send Tino a personal message too.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The story didn’t end there. Eddie showed up in person at an AHU Knights practice to surprise Tino, who handed Eddie a special gift. That day sparked a friendship between Eddie and Tino's dad, Ryan Beckmann, built on hockey, hope, and a lot of laughs.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Not long after, a playful back-and-forth in a group text with a mutual friend turned into a bold bet. Ryan, who had never worn goalie pads in his life, claimed he could stop Eddie in a shootout. Eddie fired back, betting he could go 5-for-5 as a player. The wager? $500.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>But it didn’t stop there.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Eddie suggested turning their friendly bet into something bigger. “Might as well just write the check to Canucks for Kids now,” he joked. And with that, the Ultimate Goalie Showdown was born.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>On June 24th @ 7 PM, live at AZ Ice Gilbert and streaming online, Eddie and Ryan will face off in a one-of-a-kind shootout to raise money for causes close to their hearts. Fans can donate to Eddie's charity, Canucks for Kids, or Ryan's charity, Puck Support — or bet on who they think will come out on top. A portion of the proceeds will also support Tino's AHU Knights 8U hockey team.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>And because the hockey family always finds a way to give more, a silent auction will run alongside the event, with all proceeds benefiting these incredible causes.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>This is more than a game. It’s a celebration of the hockey community’s strength, generosity, and love. Join us for a day of fun, laughter, competition, and giving back — because in hockey, we never skate alone.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>Be part of the story. Donate, bet, bid, or cheer us on. Together, we win.

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>The "Bet":

</div>

<div>Eddie thinks he will go 5 for 5 on Ryan. If Ryan stops 1 out of 5 he wins the "bet".

</div>

<div>When you donate please let us know if you would like to:

</div>

<div>-Donate directly to Puck Support or Canucks For Kids

</div>

<div>-"Bet" on Eddie or Ryan. If you "bet" on Ryan and he wins 75% of the proceeds from you will go Puck Support and 25% to Canucks for kids. If Ryan loses 75% would go to Canucks for Kids and 25% would go to Puck Support. 

</div>

<div><br />

</div>

<div>*10% of all donations go to support Tino's AHU Knights hockey team which is also a non profit 501c3 organization.
