Our community is heartbroken as we mourn the unimaginable loss of Javi, the beloved son of our dear friend Anthony Claro. Many of our members and families have personally experienced the compassion, dedication, and life-changing support that Anthony has shared through his work at Milestone Clinic, where he has helped children, teens, and adults through assessments and therapy. His kindness and commitment to helping others have touched countless lives. Today, it is our turn to stand beside him and his family.

Javi was a beautiful soul whose life, though far too short, left a lasting impression on everyone who knew him. His spirit was filled with warmth, laughter, and the kind of joy that brings people together. The loss of such a bright light has left family, friends, and our wider community devastated. Yet even in this time of grief, we are reminded of the power of compassion, unity, and love.

In honor of Javi’s memory, we are coming together to support a cause that reflects the values of inclusion, opportunity, and happiness. Through this effort, we hope to sponsor and support the dream of inclusive hockey—creating opportunities for individuals of all abilities to experience the joy of the game, the camaraderie of a team, and the sense of belonging that sports can bring.

Hockey is more than just a sport; it is a space where friendships grow, confidence builds, and joy is shared. Supporting inclusive hockey means ensuring that everyone, regardless of ability or background, has the chance to participate, celebrate, and feel part of something meaningful.
