Cat5 Canes Looking "Sharp"
David Laszlo of
ProSharp Skate Services
donated his skills on the grinding wheel to TSHA.
He honed up a whole bag of donated skates to help keep or kids on the ice. David runs his operation out of the IcePlex.
He has been a supporter from the beginning of the program. Please visit David for all your sharpening needs, he is one of the best!
Two local hockey shops partnered with TSHA to provide discounted and donated equipment to get our 3rd season kicked off. Five Hole Sports in Cary and Play It Again Sports in Cary continue to be TSHA's preferred equipment providers. TSHA provides all the equipment needed for the players to get on the ice. Our partners generosity and sense of community ease the financial burden allowing more funds for ice time.
Please visit these shops for all your hockey needs. Select here to visit the sponsor page.
As "The Heart of the Carolina Hurricanes," the Kids 'N Community Foundation offers programming assistance and financial funds to assist local area youth organizations. TSHA benefited from their generosity, receiving a grant that will cover a majority of the operating costs for the upcoming season. Thank you Carolina Hurricanes and the Kids 'N Community Foundation.
