Sammy Mo’s Story
Sammy's passion for hockey and skating brought joy and connection to all who knew him. His journey—from determined mini-mite skater to high school and travel hockey champion—was a testament to his spirit, grit, and love for the sport. Additionally, his welcoming smile and heart-warming laugh allowed him to become friends with anyone he met. Sammy cared so much about all people and wanted nothing more for all to be happy.
Since the opening of The Ribbon, Sammy brought all of these passions together, along with creating precious memories skating with his mom, Jill.
In his memory, the Sammy Mo Molnar Gift Ribbon Program ensures all Lucas County residents can share in that joy, breaking down barriers for families to experience the magic of skating.
