Bill Pfeiffer Memorial

"Between the Pipes" Fund

The 2009/2010 "Between the Pipes" award selection process has completed.

Recipients will be receiving notification via mail by August 28th, 2009.

The Between the Pipes Fund was established in 2007 to benefit members of the greater Binghamton area youth ice hockey community and to memorialize Bill Pfeiffer as a long-term supporter of youth hockey.

 

The STHA grows this fund with the STHA Ice Breaker Fundraiser and other events. The fund will provide the base fees associated with each age group, based on USA Hockey's standard of classification.

 

The fund will benefit the following levels, regardless of if the player is enrolled in the house or travel program: Mini-mite, Dyno-mite, Squirt, Peewee, Bantam, and Midget. If awarded, the fund will make the payment directly to the Southern Tier Hockey Association to offset the recipient's base fees.
