An Oshawa resident and hockey player, Avery Grant, is raising money for the Jamaican Olympic Ice Hockey team which he is a member of.
As of last night, $2,090 had been raised against a target of $5,000, according to the GoFundMe page.
The appeal said for years, the Jamaican team has been fighting hard on the ice, winning the 2019 Latam Cup, and the 2024 Challenger Series, proving that the power of passion, perseverance, and dedication knows no boundaries with a 20-5-0 record. However, despite their success, the Jamaican Olympic Federation has yet to provide the funding needed for them to compete on the international stage.
To make the Jamaican Men’s National Ice Hockey Team’s dreams a reality, the appeal said it needs to raise funds for the following essential expenses:
- Transportation: From flights to truck rentals, travel expenses are a major cost for any team, especially when competing at the international level.
- Accommodation: Hotel stays are crucial to ensure the team can rest, recharge, and perform at their best.
- Meals: Nourishment is key to keeping the players strong and focused. Ensuring proper meals and hydration is essential for performance on and off the ice.
- Apparel: From jerseys to gear, the team needs to represent Jamaica with pride on the ice.
