Aftab Patla Memorial Cup Hockey Game

This fun and entertaining fund-raising hockey game began in 2007 to commemorate our colleague and mentor who died after a courageous battle with cancer. Dr. Patla was a professor of Kinesiology at University of Waterloo for 25 years with a research interest in health, aging and human movement.

The hockey game pits a team of Kinesiology Undergraduate Students against a team made up of Kinesiology Graduate Students, Faculty and Staff. Since 2007, we have raised over $26,000 from the generous support of alumni, faculty, staff, graduate and undergraduate students, alumni, and members of our local community. 

Thanks to a government gift matching program, over $60,000 has been put toward the Aftab Patla Memorial Endowment Fund to benefit undergraduate students.
