One of our Missouri Ice hockey Association (MIHOA) officials, Dean Robinson, sustained an eye injury while officiating a AAA U15 ice hockey game on 10/27/2024. Dean was hit with a stick and was immediately taken to the hospital where he underwent eye surgery. The prognosis and outlook for Dean is not encouraging, doctors say there is a very good chance he will lose sight in the injured eye.

In addition to loss of income from officiating ice hockey games, Dean is a licensed commercial truck driver. Dean will be out of work for a period of time and he could lose his CDL license and additional income.

MIHOA and the St. Louis hockey community would like to provide support to the Robinson family to assist with medical bills and living expenses. Please donate as much as you can to help the Robison family through this difficult time.
