Christopher J. Holec was a student at LTHS from 1989-1993 and a team captain & leading scorer of LTHC.  The LTHS and hockey communities lost an amazing person in Chris when he lost his battle with Hodgkin’s disease in 1999.  Chris was a model member of LTHC demonstrating leadership, athletic excellence, loyalty and strong family values.

The Holec Family and LTHC are proud to offer the Christopher J Holec Memorial Scholarship each season to the one senior LTHC member who most demonstrates Chris' amazing qualities.  The Varsity team proudly displays "CH" on their black jerseys in memory of Chris and his love of the game.

Congratulations to this year's winner of the Christopher Holec Scholarship, TJ Aiyash.  TJ has skated for LTHC for four years and is a 2-year Captain on JV and 1-year Assistant Captain on Varsity.  He plans to attend Northern Michigan University in the fall to study Psychology and hopefully play on the school's club hockey team.  This year marked the 10th Anniversary of the Scholarship which is provided each year by the Holec Family and LTHC to the senior that most demonstrates the admirable traits of Alumni LTHC player Christopher Holec.  To honor the occasion, the club presented the Holec Family with a framed jersey with Chris's name and number that now hangs at the Darien Sportsplex so all visitors can read about his contribution to LTHC.  Click here to read more about Christopher Holec.
