Meet Our 2025 NHL Stick Tap for Service Champion: Ryan Croley

Ryan Croley truly embodies what it means to provide mentorship, service and sacrifice to his community and his country. Meet Ryan and watch the moment he learned about winning a $30,000 donation from Navy Federal Credit Union toward the Warrior for Life Fund!

Why Stick Tap?

Fans know that a tap of hockey sticks between players, on the ice or against the boards, is a sign of approval or applause. We’re translating that into a way to acknowledge the incredible contributions of hockey fans and military members with NHL Stick Tap for Service™.
