Sharma was killed Aug. 21, 2021, in an early-morning car crash that also claimed the lives of his friends and Delta Hockey Academy teammates Parker Magnuson and Caleb Reimer, on 104 Avenue in Surrey\u2019s Fraser Heights area.<\/p>\n
The Ronin Sharma Foundation and hockey tournament were both created to honour Ronin\u2019s legacy. The tournament includes eight youth divisions, male and female. There will also be raffle prizes, a silent auction and a 50\/50 draw.<\/p>\n

The foundation has distributed over $100,000 through scholarships, financial aid and supplying equipment. Last year, they helped 16 kids, and they are planning on beating that number this year. <\/p>\n
