The Video That Started It All

Before Hockey Mentors officially became a nonprofit, Wyatt partnered with Motor City Veterans Hockey during COVID to create a hockey parody video that helped keep the vision for Hockey Mentors alive while raising funds for Special Olympics Michigan. The project introduced many people to the mission behind Hockey Mentors and helped build early community support that would later contribute to the organization’s growth.
