League/Division News

Hello Boys, I hope you and your families are doing well and staying safe. As we still face some challenges ahead with the pandemic, I am hopeful we will be able to resume hockey again this fall. Even as frustrating as it has been not playing this season, it gives me great pleasure to report on our latest charitable donations handed out last month which were the most ever by the KCOHL. As you know I surveyed the league before Christmas on whether to contribute the balance of all beer funds to charity and as expected you guys voted unanimously favoring that idea. I am happy to inform you that we were able to add an additional $2250.00 to our already generous donation total. Wow! Our goal has always been focused on supporting local charities that can reach the most amount of vulnerable people in our community, and this year was no exception. So without further due I am thrilled to announce that he KCOHL was able to donate a total of $18,750 to local charities. I want to thank Kevin Doll for helping deliver these donations and providing the below links to the organizations you supported. I know these donations could not come at a better time when many are dealing with varying hardships due to Covid-19. Again, click below the links to see who your donation dollars are benefiting.
