RE: BUILDING HOCKEY’S HEART
Dear DAWG Nation Supporter,
DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation promotes community by creating opportunities in recreational and competitive ice hockey, while supporting players and their families in high standards of health, wellness and fair play. Begun in 2011 as a way to honor a fallen teammate, we have grown from a small group of adult hockey players to a powerful force on the Colorado hockey scene. More than just a cadre of teams, we band together to provide resources to families in their time of need.
Our reputation for quality and caring has led to this exciting moment. We will design, build and operate the nation’s first multi-sheet hockey arena intended to support both disabled and able-bodied athletes. This arena will be home to:
• DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation and its recreational hockey programs• Colorado Sled Hockey and national/international sled tournaments• Increased opportunities for disabled veterans• Top youth and high school hockey programs and possibly, the CHSAA tournament• City of Castle Pines and Douglas County recreational programs• Health and wellness-related tenants
While ambitious, with your help, this unique effort can be achieved. We have secured donated land and are partnering with a host of Colorado’s leading companies to make the dream a reality. The final product will be a point of pride for the entire hockey community and its success will undoubtedly change lives. I hope you’ll agree and join the effort.
Sincerely,DAWG Nation Hockey Foundation
Martin RichardsonCEO & President
“We are building a bridge between the disabled athlete, the able-bodied athlete and the educational community...”
Our goal is to build a three-sheet ice complex designed to fully accommodate both sled hockey and ice hockey. This rink will connect the surrounding communities in Colorado with youth and adult programs, anchoring several nearby high school programs. The rink will also serve as the home to Colorado Sled Hockey Clubs with the capability of hosting both national and international sled hockey events.

Our own Jack Kelly wore #21 on the original DAWGs team and was much more than just a teammate. A husband and father of three, Jack tragically passed in April of 2010. The loss of our beloved #21 was a blow to all of us, but spurred the idea of DAWG Nation. Jack will never be replaced, but to see his legacy live on through his widow and daughters is beyond inspirational. Today his family is still very much a part of the organization and we know that Jack is still watching over us and guiding us in his own special way.

RINK GOALS
“I partner with DAWG Nation becauseI have seen firsthand how this
organization meets the needs of those in the hockey community, builds relationships and changes lives.”
- Milan Hejduk, Retired NHL Colorado Avalanche Forward (‘98-’13)
OLIVER “BUTCH” MOUSSEAU
Butch was a larger than life figure in the Colorado hockey community. He was a friend to everyone and a key contributor to the game in many ways. As the only Native American to ever referee an NHL hockey game, he was a pioneer in every sense of the word. Tragically, Butch passed away in March 2016 after a fall in the warm-ups of an NCAA hockey game in Michigan. His passing sent shock waves through the hockey community across the globe. DAWG Nation stepped in immediately and set up a fund to aid his wife, Macaire, and their three children. Over several weeks, the fund grew to over $175,000 and that check was given to the family during our annual Survivor Game in June 2016. Since then, Butch’s family and extended family have become an integral part of helping us make the world a better place.

“DAWG Nation is by far the best organization for disabled veterans. What they did for me and my family was unbelievable and changed the course of our lives forever. The donation we received helped us get back on our feet and changed our lives beyond words. Thank you DAWG Nation, not only do you enrich lives, you save them!”

Dave is, perhaps, the toughest man on earth. On July 3, 2015, Dave was involved in a “Flight for Life” helicopter crash that took the life of Pilot Patrick Mahany. Suffering burns over 90% of his body, Dave was given a negative chance of survival. Dave not only survived, but continues to defy the odds at every turn. During Dave’s recovery, his wife, Amanda, was by his side every day. This was made possible via substantial donations to the family on two separate occasions, allowing Amanda to concentrate solely on Dave. Recently, Dave tearfully shared, “The only reason I’m here today is because of the gift we received from DAWG Nation.”
