LOUNGECHANGING AREA

Vikings Hockey is the only team out of

the 21 NCAA sports Lawrence offers

that has its full-time training, practice,

and game site off campus. With the

program’s success comes growth, and

as we have grown, the Lawrence Hockey

roster and coaching staff have simply

outgrown the space we have designated

for the program. The time is now to

harness the energy of our community

and supporter base, seek investments

in a strength of the college, and elevate

the program to new levels.

We believe that each student deserves

their own stall space in our home locker

room—a hockey student-athlete’s

home away from campus. By increasing

the square footage of the room, our

program could add equipment storage,

work areas, and a study lounge. With a

renovated locker room space, we could

appeal to more talented prospective

Vikings and field an even more

competitive roster. Above all, we could

better retain and equip some of our

strongest academic achievers to chase

success in Lawrence classrooms.

We need your help. We cannot do this

alone. This is a seminal moment in

the program’s history, in which we can

elevate the Vikings Men’s Ice Hockey

program at Lawrence University for

years to come. Please consider an

investment in our young men,

coaching staff, and program today.

STEP 1: BUILD A NEW LOCKER ROOMGOAL: $500,000

“ IT IS A TREMENDOUS HONOR TO BE MEMBERS OF THE MOST COMPETITIVE DIVISION

III HOCKEY LEAGUE IN THE COUNTRY. IN ORDER TO KEEP PACE AND SURPASS OUR

OPPONENTS, WE MUST ENHANCE OUR LOCKER ROOM TO ASSIST IN RECRUITING THE BEST

POSSIBLE PLAYERS. OUR STUDENT-ATHLETES HAVE REPRESENTED LAWRENCE UNIVERSITY

AND OUR PROGRAM WITH PRIDE AND PASSION. THEY DESERVE A SPACE TO CALL THEIR

HOME THAT TRULY MEETS THEIR NEEDS AS A VIKING HOCKEY PLAYER.”

– MIKE SZKODZINSKI, HEAD MEN’S ICE HOCKEY COACH

STEP 2: BUILD A PROGRAM ENDOWMENTGOAL: $500,000

Once we reach our locker room project goal, we will shift the focus of our initiative and our sights to the building of an endowment

for the Lawrence Vikings Men’s Ice Hockey program. With a profound upgrade to our facility, the need for perpetual funds that

support the maintenance, upkeep, and enhancing of the program for future years will become essential. In order to pursue

excellence as a program, it is essential that we begin to build an endowment that is invested, grows into the future, and, lastly,

distributes a small percentage of its annual earnings that directly benefits Vikings Hockey student-athletes’ recruitment, gear,

travel, and overall experience in perpetuity.

HOW DOES A GIFT TO THE VIKINGS HOCKEY ENDOWMENT WORK?

“A NEW LOCKER ROOM WOULD MEAN A TREMENDOUS AMOUNT TO OUR HOCKEY PROGRAM AT LU. THE LOCKER ROOM IS A PLACE WHERE

WE CAN MENTALLY GET AWAY FROM ALL THE STRESSES OF BEING A STUDENT-ATHLETE. A NEW LOCKER ROOM AND AN UPGRADED SPACE

TO CALL OUR OWN WILL CONTINUE THE PROGRESSION OF OUR PROGRAM. IT WILL ENABLE US TO RECRUIT AND COMPETE WITH PRIDE,

PASSION, AND PURPOSE EACH DAY ON AND OFF THE ICE.”
