Join Columbus Warrior Hockey
Why Join?
Columbus Warrior Hockey is a 501(c)(3) non-profit organization that provides honorably discharged U.S. Military veterans with service connected disabilities a therapeutic experience grounded in peer-based support, the cultivation of mental and physical healing, and physical activity through the sport of hockey.
Columbus Warrior Hockey’s approach to accomplishing our mission is unique in that we supplement our disabled hockey program with community based activities that incorporate other military-connected individuals.
Columbus Warrior Hockey extends participation eligibility to individuals such as current service members and gold star family members for participation in our Chiller Adult Hockey League teams, Stick & Puck sessions, and Drop-In Hockey sessions. This blending of veterans, current service members, and family members creates a continuum of support that serves to create a lasting positive impact to our local veterans.
