The Winnipeg Ice will be hosting an auction in supports of the Dianne Woods player assistance fund
The Winnipeg ICE are launching an auction with select game warn jerseys with the net proceeds being donated back to the Dianne Woods Memorial Player Assistance Fund
Dianne is one of the most special and influential individuals in the history of this Hockey Community. Dianne served many volunteer roles in the minor hockey system in Winnipeg and eventually became the Executive Director of the Winnipeg Minor Hockey Association.
Dianne believed that all children should have the opportunity to play the game, regardless of their financial background so she created a financial assistance program here in Winnipeg and she also started a golf tournament to raise money for this program.
Dianne passed away in 2011 but both the financial assistance program and the golf tournament live on in her memory. Each season the Dianne Woods Memorial Player Assistance Fund supports dozens of hockey families here in Winnipeg, allowing kids to participate in minor hockey that would otherwise not be able to afford it.
