Remembering Derek Cline
The Cline family has been involved with youth sports, especially hockey, in Western NY for decades. They lost a son, brother, and husband in January 2021. We lost a best friend. We all want to keep Derek’s name, his love and his memories going strong forever.
The family has set up the Derek Cline Memorial Foundation to help future ice hockey officials and baseball umpires by sponsoring them when they are starting out. They also would like to give out scholarships to high school seniors that embody what Derek was all about – love, laughter & dedication.
