You can't talk about Alaska without mentioning #hockey. Guadalupe Martinez has been playing indoor, outdoor and #pondhockey for years now, thanks to the help from the Scotty Gomez Foundation.

As any hockey player knows, hockey can be an expensive sport; and for some low-income families, it might not be an option. So the Scotty Gomez Foundation helps make hockey an option for kids who couldn't afford it otherwise. #hispanicheritagemonth
