​​​​​​Who we are supporting this year:


There were two losses that greatly impacted many within the Pittsburgh hockey community early this year. Proceeds from the 2023 Pete Thompson Classic will be in support of each of these families.

​








​Sean Millroy, Curing the Incurable:

On January 23, Sean Millroy (first from the left) passed away from a rare form of cancer at 31 years old. Sean's father, Chris, was a long time staple in the local hockey community, mostly in the RMU Iron Lung leagues and in various leagues at the UPMC Lemieux rink. He and his wife, Kathy, moved to North Carolina a few years ago but remain close friends with many who play in this tournament.


Sean documented his journey and was committed to doing his part to find a cure. Please visit this link to learn more about his story and to support his family's ongoing efforts: https://gofund.me/2b22230b​​

​The family of Tim "Tex" Texter: 
On The morning of Feb 8, 2023, Tim collapsed. Despite the immediate efforts of first responders, he unfortunately passed at UPMC Passavant in Cranberry.


Tim was a huge supporter of the Pittsburgh Hockey community, and was always willing to properly sharpen skates, nurture players, and offer advice. He loved the game and encouraging others to love it as well in his pick-up leagues, Texter Cup, and the infamous Turkey Bowl played each thanksgiving day.


Tim has had many passion projects over the years, but by far his greatest passion was his family. Christina, Gino, and Nicolina are deeply grieving this terrible and unexpected loss. Tim was always willing to help out a friend. He was a dedicated son, husband, father, son in law, brother, brother in law, uncle, friend, and coach.
