Welcome to the Charlie Boike Memorial Site: Skate Free Charlie. As much as we miss our dear son, we are hoping his legacy will live on in the hearts of others through this site, charitable events, numerous stories and through our passion project: The Zamboni Spirit Ride.

Check back often as we are still undergoing development with our site.

Thank you, from the bottom of our hearts, for the outpour of love and support. We are looking forward to sharing the story of Charlie with all of you.

♥️ The Boike Family

Thank you to all of our sponsors!

The Charlie’s Corner Sports Court is a seed that was planted by Charlie himself. Charlie was a frequent user of the Omni training facility, and he was passionate about finding an area there to build an area for shooting pucks.  Since Charlie’s passing almost two years ago, it has now become a mission for us to make this passion come true.  We approached Leah and Colin, (the owners of Omni) about our ideas, and they were 100% on board.
This sports court will not only have a shooting area for hockey, but will also have wall ball for lacrosse players, and a pickle ball court, that will also be open for adaptable pickle ball.  This court will be open to the community. It’s our way of honoring Charlie and giving back to this community that helped us through our darkest hours when we lost Charlie.
