After discussions with RickC and MrT's family, we have selected the MLSE foundation as the preferred charity to donate in MrT's memory. Among their activities is the funding of hockey facilities

Canada?s sport and recreation infrastructure is in a state of physical decline. Sixty-seven per cent of current facilities need to be repaired or replaced. (Active Healthy Kids Canada Report Card, 2012)
Since launching in December 2009, the MLSE Foundation has revitalized 24 athletic facilities in the Greater Toronto Area, shaping the lives of kids by enabling participation in the sports we all love.
By putting in top-quality facilities, we are showing these communities that they are important to us and that their kids deserve to play on the very best.
Athletic facilities are the heart of a community. Every kid should have an athletic facility within walking distance because when kids play sports, it leads to social change.
We transform dilapidated facilities to provide kids with opportunity and to show these communities that they are important and that their kids deserve to play on the very best. A new court gives kids the shot to dream big. Kids need a place to build friendships and be active. We revitalize courts, pitches, and rinks. The kids in the communities build dreams.
They were quite taken with MrT's story and have offered to set up a memorial page that will help collect donations in MrT's memory. If you can hang on a little bit longer for that, I'll update you with a link as soon as it's ready.
