For everyone who staff hockey was, or is, a meaningful part of their past or present, please read on.

It has been 17 years of staff hockey in the gym, we know because we have 17 winning teams on the Tischler Cup. During this year's victory celebration, the cup broke and needs to be replaced by a silversmith. We will engrave it identically to match the old one. We also realize the need to add better lighting and additional ventilation to the gym. Fans and louvers are proposed and 4 additional lights (currently we have 6).

We are asking all of you who thought you were Wayne Gretzsky, or Mike Bossy, or Mario Lemieux, or Dominik Hasek, or the true old timer, Gordie Howe to help perpetuate and improve this legendary camp obsession. It is a religious experience for so many of you.

In consideration of the 18th anniversary of the cup, donated in memory of Jeffrey S. Tischler, please consider making a contribution to this program that holds so many fond memories for so many of you. Those who have already contributed your support are greatly appreciated.

You can use this form to make a donation with your credit card ($100 minimum), or just mail a check (any amount) to:

Let's make staff hockey better than ever. We will also continue to upgrade eye wear protection, shin guards, sticks, etc. We don't only want to hear from Berg, Oppici (already have) and Kurtis, but the hundreds of you men and women who couldn't wait for staff hockey. Our goal is $10,000. We know we can easily do it as we successfully raised over $50,000 for The Support A Camp Road project 2 years ago. Let's make this a Hat Trick!
