About Tim Hixson

Tim was a great young man who loved the game of hockey. He was a natural athlete who played many sports well. Hockey was his main love. Tim enjoyed the contact and though he was never the biggest guy on the ice, he chose to play defense. His style of play was of total and complete abandon - throwing his body into every play.

Whether checking, taking a hit or stopping a slap shot with his body he gave everything he had on every play. Many an opposing defensemen, standing a full head taller, made the mistake of underestimating Tim. They often ended up on the ice wondering what had happened.

On the evening of March 26, 1982, in his 22nd year of life, Tim was on his way to pick up a date when a drunken driver swerved into him and took his life. His life was tragically ended at time when it should have just begun. So that he will always be remembered, his family established the Tim Hixson Memorial Scholarship Award in his name.
