Sarah Thompson created her non-profit Sticks Together to teach hockey all around the world but it soon blossomed into a community effort that still remains.
St. Lawrence forward Sarah Thompson was heartbroken when she found out Tigmans Village on the island of Palawan in the Philippines was experiencing massive flooding. Houses had been destroyed, streets were impassable, and food and water were unavailable to some. Thompson communicated with some of the residents she knew there and was able to raise $1000 in 24 hours to help them.
