Sticks Together is a not-for-profit foundation founded by NCAA Division I student-athlete Sarah Thompson during her time at Syracuse University.
With the support of our partners, Sticks Together continues to expand its reach, creating meaningful experiences that not only celebrate the sport but also drive lasting social impact globally.
As a child growing up in Ottawa, Ontario, Sarah spent countless hours of playing street hockey, where she would develop a deep appreciation for the sport and the unique community that it creates.
Sticks Together was built on the belief that hockey transcends boundaries—social, cultural, and geographic. By bringing communities together through the shared love of hockey, we aim to bridge cultural divides, foster understanding, and empower the next generation to grow both on and off the ice.
