Meet eight year old Luke Grahame, a hockey-loving boy from a hockey-loving family is selling special hockey merch to help other hockey lovers—and he’s loving it.
His family took a childhood utterance, as genius as it was random, and spun it into a line of merchandise with the proceeds going to charities that pay for gear, rink time, and team fees for kids who want to play hockey but whose families can’t afford the expense.
He’s got a special fundraiser going at the moment specifically for the children of veterans, in honor of Veteran’s Day.
Luke’s two older brothers both play, and Luke loved going to watch their games before he was old enough to hit the ice. But eventually, eagerness and frustration culminated in a now-famous line.
“I’m tired of just being a rink dude,” he said in frustration. That day, the Rink Dude brand was born.
Luke has been trying to be the goal of $5,000. Luke is showing with a little moxie, you can play ice hockey.
I understand a lot of people aren't looking at the blog, and that's fine. I'm still trying to get back how I was two years ago. I'm still going to blog, and if you don't like the blog, that's okay.
ReplyDeleteI'm still going to blog, and if no one shows up, that's okay too.
I for one have missed some of your hilarious stuff, along with knowing what your kids are up to. Take your time, but when it comes to me, I forget all sorts of things, so it might be a few days between comments since I'll forget blogs in general exist.
ReplyDeleteKevin had good running on cross country, and Julia is a beast in Field hockey. She was announced for the NHS last month. Both have great grades so far.
DeleteForgot to mention that Luke and his family are awesome! RNG
ReplyDeleteHockey and lacrosse, best sports on earth. *Just my opinion.
