Julia’s Kindness Crew is inviting you to nominate an extraordinary young woman who embodies Julia’s spirit—someone so passionate about a cause, activity, or dream that she would consider making it her “middle name.”
Selected nominees will be highlighted on the Foundation website and her story will also have a chance to be featured in an upcoming children’s book celebrating Julia’s legacy and the power of passion and kindness.
Julia's passion for ice hockey ran deep, igniting her desire to build a career within the sport. Her journey began at just 13 years old when she joined the Ice Crew for the Wilkes Barre Scranton Penguins, immersing herself in the world she loved. By 17, she had expanded her involvement, working at both a local hockey shop and an ice rink. With dedication and determination, Julia delved into the intricacies of hockey gear, mastering skills such as skate sharpening with remarkable proficiency. Her commitment and hands-on experience laid the foundation for her aspirations in the hockey industry, fueling her ambition to leave an indelible mark in the sport she adored.
Julia's passion for hockey was so profound that she made a bold decision to legally change her middle name to "Hockey." This symbolic gesture not only reflected her deep dedication to the sport but also served as a unique way to emphasize her commitment when pursuing career opportunities in the hockey industry. With a touch of humor, Julia would proudly declare, "Hockey is my middle name!"—Over time, she became affectionately known as "Hockey" to many within her circle, a fitting tribute to her love for the game.
