Jamie Reid Kids Hockey Fund
Submitted By jrobertson on Wednesday, January 28, 2015
The Jamie Reid Kids Hockey Fund was established in memory of
Jamie Reid, who suddenly and tragically passed away early in 2015 shortly after
his eight birthday.
Jamie was born in Barrie and lived and played there his entire life. A physically active and busy boy, Jamie had a passion for many sports. Above all though, Jamie loved hockey and played in the Barrie House League on the Novice Blue Lightening Team where he proudly wore #16 – the number his favourite player, Jonathan Toews, wore in the Olympics. When not skating, swimming, skiing or at Tae Kwondo, Jamie attended Terry Fox Elementary School with his friends where he was always on the go and had a positive outlook on life. The Jamie Reid Kids Hockey Fund is proudly managed on behalf of the Reid Family by Canadian Tire Jumpstart Charities and is dedicated to helping underprivileged boys and girls between the ages of 4 and 18 play hockey by providing registration funding support to the Barrie Minor Hockey Association. Jamie loved life and made many friends through sports. It is hoped that The Jamie Reid Kids Hockey Fund will allow other children the same opportunity as they have fun and make friends in his name through Jumpstart and Barrie Minor Hockey.
