The Matt Shott Arizona Hockey Legacy Foundation is a charitable organization dedicated to raising funds to support hockey programming and the growth of the sport in Arizona. Our foundation was established in memory of Matt Shott, a pioneer who initiated many of the NHL youth programs in Arizona. We are committed to continuing his legacy by providing opportunities for the community to engage in the sport he was so passionate about.

To conserve the Arizona hockey ecosystem through strategic investments, partnerships and programming.
