The Michigan Amateur Hockey Association (MAHA) is very proud to support the 2021 October Saves Goalie Challenge

Since 2014, the October Saves Goalie Challenge is an all-volunteer 501 (c)(3) charitable organization raising money to fight cancer during Breast Cancer Awareness month. The concept is simple -  ask goalies to gather pledges from family, friends and teammates for each save they make in the month of October. To date, the goalies of October Saves have raised over $1.5 million dollars in the fight against cancer. Now it's YOUR turn!

The list of participating goalies in Michigan is already growing! Goalies can register now at www.octobersaves.org to get started. Once registered, goalies can begin collecting pledges or donations from family, friends and teammates. In addition, there are some great prizes & incentives to keep you motivated all month long!

Have a participating goaltender you'd like to support with a pledge or donation? Simply look up your goalie at www.octobersaves.org and make your pledge or donation in his / her name!
