Well, a hockey brother's son. David Pecora is from Livingston, NJ, and played for the State Champion Livingston High School Lancers in 1980. He's living in Georgia today and his son, Nicholas has been selected to represent our country playing for the USA Deaf National Hockey Team, who will be competing in the World Deaf Ice Hockey Championship in May.
Nicholas is excited for this dream come true and in a poignant open letter has asked for help to offset the expense for this ten-day trip to Vancouver, BC. Here's the link to his Square page - https://square.link/u/wOedloCq I know we're asked too often to help some cause, but this is different - it's special. Please consider helping this exceptional young man pursue his dream, allowing him to focus all his attention on the game we all love.
Below is Nicholas's letter. You decide.
Dear Family and Friends,
I am writing to share some exciting news and to ask for your support as I embark on an incredible journey representing the USA Deaf National Hockey Team at the World Deaf Ice Hockey Championships. This prestigious event will take place in Vancouver, British Columbia, Canada, from May 7th to May 17th, 2025.
Being selected to play for the USA Deaf National Hockey Team is a tremendous honor and a dream come true. It represents the culmination of years of hard work, dedication, and passion for the sport. Competing at the highest level against six other international teams is an opportunity that I have long aspired to achieve.
However, attending the World Deaf Ice Hockey Championship comes with significant costs, including travel, accommodation, equipment, and other expenses. As an athlete, these financial burdens can be daunting. Therefore, I am reaching out to you to seek your generous support in helping me defer these costs.
Your contribution, no matter the amount, will make a substantial difference and will be deeply appreciated. It will enable me to focus on training and competing without the added stress of financial constraints.
If you wish to contribute, please consider donating through https://square.link/u/wOedloCq Additionally, sharing this letter with others who might be interested in supporting my journey would be immensely helpful.
Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your consideration and support. I am genuinely grateful for your belief in me and my dreams. Together, we can make this incredible experience possible and represent our country with pride and honor.
Warmest regards,
Nicholas Pecora
USA International Deaf Hockey Team
