Lindsay Kimmett was passionate about many things. Family, friends, travel, reading, and medicine were at the top of that list and helped define who she was. But if there was one thing that got Lindsay more excited than any of these it was hockey. She would take it any way she could get it; ball, ice, or pond, it didn’t matter. She was also a strong supporter of womens’ sport but was never afraid to compete against men.
What better way, then, to pay tribute to her memory and passion for the sport than playing for a co-ed pond hockey championship in her hometown of Cochrane? Starting in 2009 The Kimmett Cup was initiated by med school classmates Joe MacLellan and Jason Baserman who teamed up with brother Reid Kimmett to produce an event that has grown from a gathering of friends and family out on the pond to honour Lindsay to a treasured Cochrane community event that has raised over 2 million dollars for Children’s Wish, Make A Wish, Children’s Cottage and numerous other charities.
It has become so large we had to move it to its very own website:
