Operation Hat Trick (OHT) and Serve and Succeed Charitable Foundation Make Additional Donations to Nine Warrior Ice Hockey Teams
HAMPTON, N.H., September 25, 2025 – Operation Hat Trick (OHT), an innovative non-profit supporting the recovery of wounded service members and veterans, and Serve and Succeed Charitable Foundation, a nonprofit dedicated to empowering students and veterans, announced today they have made donations to nine Warrior Hockey teams across the country. The donations will be used to help fund ice time for practices and games.
The teams receiving donations are the Capital Beltway Warriors, Challenge Alaska Warriors, Charleston (SC) Warriors, Chicago Blackhawks Warriors, Colorado Warriors, Ice Vets Adaptive Sports, Minnesota Warriors, North Carolina Hurricanes Warriors and the Pittsburgh Warriors.
“Once again, we are thrilled to be able to partner with Serve and Succeed Charitable Foundation to provide support to these nine Warrior teams,” said OHT’s Founder/CEO, Dot Sheehan. “We are located in New Hampshire, where hockey is a distinct part of our state’s fabric. OHT continues to make it possible for injured veterans to take to the ice to connect, build camaraderie and gain resilience. Being on the ice means the world to them. With ice time being so expensive, this support makes it possible for more than 1,000 players to continue practicing and playing games. These experiences enable so many injured veterans to reach a more confident place in their lives, and we have seen that first-hand,” Sheehan concluded.
"The Serve and Succeed Charitable Foundation (S&SCF) is honored to continue our support for Warrior Hockey in partnership with Operation Hat Trick. The various Warrior Hockey teams provide impactful recreation experiences and opportunities to build camaraderie and healing for those who have served. We are proud of the great work they are doing every day." said Rick Bolduc, President, S&SCF.
