Story

The Boston 401s(k)aters will honor the memory of Chief Naval Special Warfare Operator Michael T. Ernst (SEAL), a Cohasset native who died in a parachuting training accident on February 19, 2023. Mike was a highly decorated Navy SEAL, who received many commendations, including a Silver Star for valor in combat. Mike had a lifelong love for the game of hockey, playing for Thayer Academy in Braintree, MA, and skating for many years in the Warrior for Life Fund hockey program in Virginia Beach, VA. The Mike Ernst Memorial game will benefit the Warrior for Life Fund, which focuses support to active duty, veterans, and their families through sport and community as they navigate the unique challenges of combat deployments and life after service. The WFLF provides a persistent presence of fellowship, fitness, and mental/cognitive health improvement that has lasting impact to our members.

The Warrior for Life Fund will donate a portion of funds raised to the Ernst Family Scholarship Fund. Mike was a teammate of mine in high school and when I think about him, he embodies everything I want my kids to be; driven, respectful, kind, coachable, leader.... the list goes on. I want to help support a great cause and continue his legacy for his family - who are also some of the NICEST people you would have the honor of knowing.

 

More on the Warrior for Life Fund and our game:

Mission: 

From active duty through retired life the Warrior for Life Fund provides military service members and their families access to infrastructure and programs that build resilience and foster health and wellbeing through community involvement, physical fitness and camaraderie-based team activities like hockey while ensuring the bond of their service remains unbroken. Our programs strive to strengthen the family unit and create lifelong interests and relationships. The Warrior for Life Fund also memorializes the history and heritage of military service and honor those who have made the ultimate sacrifice. 

 

Commitment: 

The Warrior for Life Fund is focused on raising funds and providing leadership to local adult and youth hockey programs which serve the Naval Special Warfare community, and the greater Hampton Roads, Virginia military community, home to the largest concentration of active duty and retired service members in the country. 

 

Honor Gold Star Families: 

The Warrior for Life Fund makes it a priority to engage, welcome and integrate families of service members who have made the ultimate sacrifice into our programs. Past and present Naval Special Warfare members gather in Virginia Beach twice each year to face off in memorial hockey games to honor the fallen.
