Nate The Great Tournament

To our sponsors, supporters, friends, and family,

We are grateful for your unwavering support throughout Nate's diagnosis, passing, and beyond. Your presence has brought us immense comfort during this difficult time.

With bittersweet emotions, we just wanted to let you know that the Nate The Great tournament ended after two years. The KC board has merged the u9, u11, and u13 tournaments to create a new brand and structure. Although Nate was briefly part of the KC club, his legacy has left a lasting impact. We are thankful for his positive influence on many individuals, which has brought our community together and promoted change, inclusivity, and unity. This experience has taught us a lot, and we are grateful for the opportunity to share Nate's story in a positive light. We have received countless testimonials about how his story has changed people's lives and taught them to appreciate every day. It is a reminder that life is short and growing old is not a certainty.

As parents, the tournament was a way for us to fulfill our dream of being hockey parents. We enjoyed planning the event, witnessing young, talented players, and giving back to our community. It was a fulfilling experience, and we were blessed to help organize a grand event that exceeded our expectations. It serves as a poignant reminder of the value of community. We will always treasure the memory of the entire hockey arena at Castledowns chanting "Nate the Great." The emotions we experienced during that moment were powerful, and our beloved boy was beaming with joy alongside us.

Once again, we want to express our gratitude for your incredible support.

Nate will always be remembered as a legend who was a "bucket filler, not a dipper." To all the bucket fillers, thank you from the bottom of our hearts for helping us heal our broken souls with your kindness, love, and devotion.

With sincere thanks,

The Beaudoin's

Remembering you today and always sweet Nate.

Today, and every day, we remember the Humboldt Broncos 💚💛

I had the privilege of sitting with the fabulous owner of Pilot Sound Dairy Queen, Kerry. I'm continually amazed each year at how well her team works together for a common cause, which is in support of the Nate The Great Memorial tournament. More than that, I can see the camaraderie among the staff, and it's heartwarming, as they are a little family. The entire team is always so welcoming, and they were so proud to declare that they sold 400 more cheeseburgers than last year for the inaugural season. What a huge accomplishment, and I am so proud of this partnership. I know also appreciates your outstanding efforts, and we look forward to continuing this journey together for many years. Thank you for your enormous donation of $3925.00! WOW! Your team are superheroes, and we sure do appreciate it!

“Nate was an old soul who loved to rock out to many genres of music that moved him. We spent many family road trips singing along to these songs and creating lasting memories.
Nate could be found dancing or grooving in his “chill mode” as he called it. These songs represent his journey and lifted his spirits when required.
I encourage you all to take a listen and enjoy the good vibes.”
