Why FLHKY Exists
Hockey is growing in Southwest Florida, but long-term growth does not happen on its own.
FLHKY exists to help strengthen the future of the game by creating opportunity, supporting development, and building the relationships, resources, and support systems that help hockey thrive.
How FLHKY Works
FLHKY is more than a fundraising organization. It is a platform for growth.
Through strategic partnerships, targeted fundraising, alumni engagement, and community-building efforts, FLHKY helps advance the people, programs, and opportunities that can move hockey forward in Southwest Florida.
Why FLHKY Supports FGCU Hockey
A stronger FGCU Hockey program strengthens hockey across Southwest Florida.
FLHKY supports FGCU Hockey because college hockey gives local players something to work toward. It creates more access to education, raises the level of competition, and builds a clearer path from youth hockey to the next level. When FGCU Hockey grows, the entire Southwest Florida hockey community grows with it.
Supporting the Future of
FGCU Hockey
One of FLHKY’s primary areas of focus is supporting the continued growth of FGCU Hockey.
Through Fuel the Flight, FLHKY helps strengthen the program’s future by supporting current needs, improving the student-athlete experience, increasing visibility and competitiveness, and helping build toward the long-term goal of ACHA Division I.
Building the Alumni Network
Since our establishment in 2002, FGCU Hockey has built a legacy of excellence:
FLHKY is also helping create a stronger alumni platform for FGCU Hockey by reconnecting former players, preserving program history, and building a network that can support the future of the program.
As that community grows, it creates new opportunities for connection, recognition, mentorship, business visibility, and long-term support.
