James (“Jim”) F. Heath

Jim Heath and his family grew up playing hockey. The Heath Family played pond hockey at Jenkins Park for many years with neighbors, Boy Scouts, school friends, work friends, and new friends wanting to join in on the fun. All levels of skill were present - from players who played Division One hockey to youngsters just learning to skate. No one was excluded from the Health Family game. In 1984, Jim’s youngest son joined Schenectady Youth Hockey Association (SYHA) and played at many levels through the organization. From that time on, it was obvious that Jim was hooked on the “hockey lifestyle”. He enjoyed getting to know new friends, traveling with his son’s teams, and rooting for the Chargers. But that wasn’t quite enough hockey for Jim. He started an adult hockey league at Center Ice, and to this day, it is still running. There was no doubt about it, Jim loved hockey. He loved the game, the camaraderie, the teamwork, the life lessons, and he wanted to share that with everyone. Jim passed away on February 9th, 2017. In his memory, the Heath Family started the James F. Heath, Jr. Scholarship in 2017.
