Dear SHAHA Families,

To know the Scobel family is a privilege, and to be part of the same hockey family is truly a blessing.

Anyone who knows Abe knows how much he loves hockey, and it’s easy to see where that passion comes from. His dad, Jim, shares that same love for the game. Jim isn’t just there cheering for Abe—he cheers for every player, encourages the kids, and has a way of making everyone feel like family.

Recently, Jim and his family received the difficult news that he has pancreatic cancer. Now it’s our turn to rally around a family that has given so much love and support to all of us.

16U Team Nemmer is organizing a T-shirt fundraiser in honor of Jim and the Scobel family. By purchasing and wearing a shirt, we can show Jim, Abe, and their entire family that a whole hockey community stands beside them.

ORDER NOW! The deadline is August 31, 2026.
