History of Little Leighton's
Little Leighton's is a program that was created in honor of Leighton Accardo, a young hockey player who won the hearts of the Arizona Hockey community during her brave fight with cancer. Her love to the game and vibrant outlook on life was an inspiration for all.
​
After her passing in 2019, we started the Little Leighton's program to do our part in keeping her legacy alive. This program is meant to offer young girls a risk-free, low-barrier entry into the sport that Leighton loved so much.
