He began his charity work when a teammate of his fell ill with brain cancer and another boy in the organization was also diagnosed with cancer.

In addition to this fundraisers he also assists his grandmother with a father/daughter dance that also raise funds for the Relay for Life.
“What better way to raise money for a cause than through something he loves–hockey,” said Coach George O’Neil.
