Youth Hockey News

Defending The Blue Line provides grants for hockey association fees for military children so that they can continue with their love of hockey. Youth hockey associations have helped DTBL to provide these grants by bringing teams in during fundraisers. "Skate For The Troops" is an annual DTBL event that provides incentives for youth teams to collect pledges. In 2011, several youth hockey teams participated and there will be a larger participation in 2012.

Young people from all over the nation have come forward with donations for DTBL and their stories are awesome! Many of the military children who have benefited from these donations also have provided us with stories and photos.

Thanks to all of our young supporters! Check out their stories!
