From August 8–10, Enduraphin traded our usual training grounds for the rink, teaming up with Checking For Charity — a nonprofit that uses competitive hockey to raise money and awareness for a variety of charities.
This year, we partnered closely with the team to do more. We worked with the leaders to produce a team, fully outfitted in custom Enduraphin-branded jerseys. Our players brought the same focus and intensity to the tournament that fuels our mission every day: helping athletes recover faster and perform better with clean, certified sports nutrition.
A Tournament with Heart – Honoring the Gaudreau Legacy
This year’s event carried special meaning. The 2025 tournament honored the legacy of Johnny and Matt Gaudreau, two brothers who were longtime participants and key supporters of Checking For Charity. Known for their talent, generosity, and dedication to the hockey community, the Gaudreaus embodied what this event is all about — passion for the game and a commitment to giving back. Their presence was felt both on the ice and in the stories shared throughout the weekend. In a fitting tribute, the winning team donated their proceeds to The John and Matthew Gaudreau Foundation, ensuring the brothers’ impact continues well beyond the rink.
Fueling the Game with Ready-to-Mix Protein Shakes
The Enduraphin team wasn’t the only thing turning heads. The Enduraphin Cybertruck rolled in loaded with our Athletic Fuel Ready-to-Mix Protein Shakes — a clean, NSF Certified for Sport® and Informed Sport® formula trusted by athletes from the pros to the college ranks. Players, volunteers, and fans were able to experience firsthand how a quick, convenient recovery shake can help power them into their next game.
Whether you’re a hockey player grinding through a weekend tournament or an athlete chasing peak performance, ready-to-mix protein shakes mean recovery is always within reach — just add water, shake, and go.
Why This Event Matters
Checking For Charity’s mission is simple but powerful: Assist. They bring together passionate people for a shared cause, using hockey as the vehicle to raise funds and awareness for charities represented at each tournament.
For us, this event wasn’t just about the games. It was about supporting the hockey community, connecting directly with athletes, and showing how high-quality sports recovery products can make a difference both on and off the ice.
We’re proud to have been part of it — on the ice, on the sidelines, and in the stands — fueling athletes and contributing to a cause that’s bigger than the game itself.
