Four principal donors — Merlis Belsher, Kerry Preete, Glen Hawker and Mike Babcock — helped launch the fund with an initial $1-million donation. As well, Preete, a former Huskie player and former Monsanto executive, has pledged to match donations up to another $500,000 going forward.
“It is tight all around, so any time you can get something like this initiative going, there’s been a lot of leg-work behind the scenes — obviously Kerry, Merlis, Mike Babcock’s been a huge, huge proponent of this. For us, for me and the team moving forward, any time you get more financial capability, we’re going to continue to provide our players with a premiere student-athlete experience and that’s something that you obviously need to have a good program.
“So this fund is about building excellence for the men’s hockey program. Make no mistake, everything here is about the student athlete, the experience that they have. Our student-athletes are tremendous on the academic stage as well, in this case, in the rink.Article content
