Richard "Rick" A. Majerski Memorial Fundraiser
Richard A. (Rick) Majerski (July 16, 1960 - August 12, 2024) was a life-long hockey fan and dedicated Hartford Whaler fan. He loved the team since their beginnings in the WHA as the New England Whalers. Rick was a professional photographer and a former member of the National Press Photographers Association. As a freelance press photographer, he was able to shoot his beloved team and all the NHL teams for various publications such as Hockey Digest and for sports card companies like Topps. Rick’s body of NHL photos have been selected to be archived at the Hockey Hall of Fame in Toronto, Ontario, Canada. Though he never had the talent nor opportunity to be a star player, he was able to be part of the game through his art. Rick truly believed everyone should enjoy hockey and loved to share his passion for it. His life proved that you can follow your dreams on many different paths.
Donations will go to Hockey Haven, a 501(c)(3) in the greater New haven area committed to increasing accessibility to the sport of hockey for underrepresented youths. These specific funds will be used to support ice time expenses for the 65 athletes that Hockey Haven supports.
