BRUNSWICK — Operation Hat Trick, a program developed by the University of New Hampshire’s athletic department to raise funds for injured veterans, is dedicated to the memory of Nate Hardy, a Navy Seal who died in Iraq in 2008, along with his fellow Seal, Mike Koch.
Nate was the son of former Bowdoin College men’s hockey standout Steve Hardy, who along with twin brother Erl were co-captains of the 1970 Polar Bears.
OHT provides hats for armed forces men and women who sustained head injuries. Now, OHT is selling hats, with the money raised helping those injured veterans.
For more information, go to the OHT website at www.operationhattrick.org.
To date, 127 colleges and universities are taking part, including Bowdoin College.
