A Community‑Driven Tradition on the Ice
The Pucks for Autism hockey tournament is set to light up the ice at Notre Dame’s Compton Family Ice Arena this weekend, bringing together fans, players and families for a cause that hits close to home.
Spanning from July 17 through Sunday, the event was highlighted on 16 News Now at Noon, where founder Shawn Pfeiffer and his son Henry shared the inspiration behind the fundraiser and what participants can expect.
A portion of the proceeds will be directed toward scholarships at Camp Millhouse and the River City Sled Rovers Hockey Team, organizations that provide vital opportunities for young athletes with disabilities.
Organizers are inviting the community to donate, volunteer or sponsor the tournament, with details and registration available at pucksforautism.com.
Since its inception, Pucks for Autism has grown into a staple of the regional sports calendar, blending competitive spirit with charitable giving, and this year’s edition promises to expand its impact.
Local businesses and supporters have already stepped forward to sponsor teams and cover operational costs, underscoring the broad reach of the initiative across Indiana and beyond.
