BUILDING THE FUTURE OF MITCHELL HOCKEY

Our hockey program has a storied history filled with countless memories of teamwork, dedication, and triumph. The bonds we formed on the ice and the lessons we learned continue to influence our lives long after we’ve hung up our skates. The Blue Line Club aims to honor this rich history by fostering a strong network of alumni and supporters committed to the continued success and development of our hockey program.

The primary goals of our Blue Line Club are:

  • Supporting Current Players: By providing financial assistance for equipment, travel expenses, and other essential needs, we ensure that our current team has the resources necessary to compete at their highest level.
  • Strengthening Alumni Connections: We aim to reconnect alumni with one another through events, newsletters, and social media, celebrating our shared history and accomplishments.
  • Strengthening Community Support:  We want to improve community engagement from our players helping in the community and the community supporting our players.  We want to boost enthusiasm for our hockey program throughout the community.
  • Enhancing Facilities and Programs: Funds raised through membership fees and donations will be used to improve training facilities, support coaching staff, and enhance overall program infrastructure.
  • Mentoring and Career Development: We plan to create opportunities for alumni to mentor current players, offering guidance in both their athletic and professional pursuits.

By becoming a member of the Blue Line Club (click the BECOME A MEMBER link to the right), you will join a dedicated community passionate about giving back and ensuring that future generations of players can experience the same opportunities and camaraderie that we cherished. Membership includes exclusive access to events, regular updates on the program's progress, and the satisfaction of knowing you are making a tangible difference in the lives of our student-athletes.

Thank you for your time and consideration. Together, we can create a lasting impact on our hockey program and ensure that our legacy continues to thrive. If you have any questions or need further information, please do not hesitate to contact us at info@marlinsblueline.com.

Best regards,
Marlins Blue Line Club
