Ashley Messier builds hockey legacy with sights on PWHL, Olympics

Mark Messier is her distant cousin, but this Sask. hockey product is carving her own path.
In one final act of generosity, a Saskatoon man is leaving an unbelievable gift.
The late Robert ‘Bob’ Steane is leaving $10 million dollars through his estate to the Saskatoon Community Foundation, Royal University Hospital Foundation and St. Paul’s Hospital Foundation.
Steane was a lifelong volunteer and donor to charities across Saskatoon.
In a news release, all three foundations say Steane’s gift will promote the arts, address homelessness, accelerate trauma care, advance mental health and medical imaging and support end-of-life hospice care.
As a way to honour Steane’s generosity, the foundations are launching a city-wide “Be A Bob” awareness campaign and website, to encourage everyone to consider giving, volunteering and leaving a legacy in their own way.
