PVAHA Grants

John Crerar Hockey Development Grants

Organized amateur hockey in the Washington, D.C. area developed in large part through the perseverance and dedication of John Crerar. John was one of the founders of the Cap Boys youth hockey program, served as the president and co-founder of the Capital Beltway Hockey League, was the president of the Southeastern Amateur Hockey Association, and served for many years as a Director of USA Hockey. John passed away on October 14, 2006. To honor John’s contribution to our hockey community, PVAHA has established the John Crerar Hockey Development Grant Program.
