Our Mission
The Thornton Academy Hockey Boosters, also known as "the Boosters," are composed of parents and other community members who have an interest in improving and assisting the Thornton Academy and area middle school hockey programs. The Boosters' primary purpose is fundraising to support the above-mentioned hockey programs and promote school spirit through sports.
Did You Know?
TA Hockey Boosters is a nonprofit organization that proudly supports both the Thornton Academy high school and area middle school hockey programs—covering nearly 80% of the total program costs, which amounts to approximately $45,000 annually.
To meet this significant financial responsibility, we rely heavily on the generosity of local business sponsors, individual donations, and the success of our annual fundraising events:
October 10th – Golf Tournament (a huge success, thank you to all volunteers & participants!)
October 25th - Maine Mariners Night Out (we can't thank our concession volunteers enough!)
January TBD – 2nd Annual “Penalty Box” Fundraiser (MORE DETAILS COMING SOON!)
January 17th – Annual Social & Silent Auction (this year is a SOCIAL only, no auction - join us!)
In addition to supporting our teams, we are committed to giving back to the community.
Each year, we host impactful events that involve our players and families:
Toys For Tots Tournament (we donated 229 toys + $86 to our local Toys for Tots!)
Hockey Fights Cancer Night (MORE DETAILS COMING SOON!)
Your support not only fuels our programs—it helps us make a difference beyond the rink.
