At the age of 2 he picked up a hockey stick and until his last day he never put it down. Ronin’s dream was to play in the NHL, and his determination and sacrifices were all leading him down that path. His dedication to the sport was immaculate, and many called it “unmatched”. Ronin spent 7 days a week playing, training and exercising to perfect his craft. Unfortunately, he never got to see that dream through, as his journey was cut short at the young age of 16 years old. The Ronin Sharma Foundation has been established to honour his legacy by helping others achieve their dreams. Through fundraising, bursaries, scholarships, and additional aid we will help those in the community that need it most.”Ronin Sharma Foundation Make sure you bookmark THN’s WHL site and add us to your favourites on Google News for the latest news, exclusive interviews, breakdowns, and so much more.
