DWGHA Receives an Honor from Alumni Natalie Spooner
On the eve of the Olympic Women's Hockey Gold Medal Game this year, Durham West Girls Hockey Association was honored to be named a recipient of the $2,026 National Women’s Olympic Team Legacy Gift - selected by our very own alumni Natalie Spooner!
As this initiative honors the grassroots association that helped shape her journey to the Olympic stage, we couldn't be more proud to have played a small role in her incredible path! From her early days on the ice wearing Lightning colors to representing Canada at the highest level Natalie continues to inspire the next generation of female hockey players in our community!
We are incredibly grateful for this recognition and Natalie's support towards our program. This Legacy Gift will go towards supporting player development and ensuring our aspiring young athletes in Durham West have the opportunity to learn, grow and fall in love with the game just as Natalie did!
Thank you Natalie for giving back and being such an inspiration to our young athletes.
Let's Go Lightning!!
