If hockey has ever felt out of reach—because of cost, access, or opportunity—this conversation matters.

In this episode of Two Women Who Give a Puck, we sit down with Lori Highby, founding board member of the Joseph Cocking Memorial Hockey Scholarship Fund—a foundation helping kids play hockey regardless of financial barriers.

After losing her father, a lifelong hockey coach and advocate, Lori and her family turned his legacy into something powerful—providing scholarships, creating opportunities, and opening the door for more players to experience the game.

🏒 In this episode, we talk about:

- Why hockey is one of the most expensive sports—and what that means for families

- How the scholarship fund works and who it helps

- The impact of community in hockey (on and off the ice)

- Why “belonging” matters just as much as skill

- How one coach’s legacy is still shaping players today

This is more than a hockey conversation— it’s about access, opportunity, and making the game better for everyone.
