Noah Yelizarov Memorial Hockey Tournament

Last weekend I had the pleasure of photographing a beautiful event. In honor of Noah, a young man who tragically died in Thailand a few weeks prior to his 19th birthday, his family and many many friends held the 5th Annual memorial hockey tournament. All the proceeds from this event are being donated to Children's Hospital, and Canuck Place, as well as to supply a small Thialand community with defibrilators that could have saved Noah's life. The day was full of joy, hockey, and later on a live auction! Here are just a sample of the event . . .and bear with me - its my first "sporting" event!!

I feel very honored to have been a part of such a wonderful event! Thank you to Nicole for asking me to be involved, and thank you to the Yelizarov family for bringing the community together for a beautiful cause.
