Gordie's
Story

"Gordie" Bryan Green

Bryan Green was born and raised in Wallaceburg Ontario. As a child, he loved playing hockey, but with 7 brothers and sisters, money was tight, so hockey registration fees and equipment weren't in the budget.

Despite being unable to play on a team, Bryan would get up at 4:00 a.m. to skate on free ice time, and he never missed a game of pond hockey. He made his own equipment out of old pop bottles, and he was such a great skater that he gained the nickname "Gordie" (after Gordie Howe) among his peers.

Bryan's friends and family have created the "Gordie Green Hockey Memorial Fund" to honour his memory and give back to his beloved community.

Bryan was an incredible father, husband, brother and friend. Sharing his love of hockey by helping children in his community is a legacy that we hope will continue to grow.

How does it work?

The Gordie Green Hockey Memorial Fund raises money each year in order to help children living in Wallaceburg Ontario with the opportunity to play hockey.

The goal of the fund is to pay for children's registration fees for The Wallaceburg Minor Hockey Association and provide equipment when needed.

The number of children we are able to help is dependent on the total amount of donations received.

The children selected for the 2025 sponsorship will be chosen and contacted by May 15th, 2025.

Assistance with Registration Fee

You can nominate a child who needs help paying the Wallaceburg Minor Hockey Association registration fee. We only ask that the child you are nominating does not have a parent or guardian with the financial means to pay the fee.

Assistance with Hockey Equipment

You can nominate a child who needs assistance purchasing hockey equipment. Some of the equipment may be secondhand, but we ensure everything is clean, a proper fit, and in good working order.
