Jay White – Ice Hockey Goalie – and the Sweet Caroline Tour raises funds annually to support the Paul Tatone Memorial for Youth Hockey, based in SCTour producer Steve Tatone’s hometown of Dayton, Ohio. Both Jay and Steve grew up playing ice hockey and were supported and cheered on by their respective families. After a stellar youth hockey career in Michigan, Jay managed the next best thing to his dream of playing in the National Hockey league (NHL) and became, in the late 1990’s, the Practice Goalie for the IHL Las Vegas Thunder, and also played as the Emergency Backup Goalie for the ECHL Las Vegas Wranglers from 2004-2009.
The Memorial bearing Steve’s father’s name carries on the work of Paul Tatone, who was an early supporter and sponsor of the Dayton Amateur Hockey Association in the 1960’s & 70’s.
