Lynn Margarit was born Nov. 5, 1945, in Fort William, Ontario. Margarit played 10 seasons of professional hockey as a defenseman.. Eight of those seasons were with the Muskegon Mohawks of the International Hockey League. Lynn’s first full season in 1967-68, was with the Muskegon Mohawks when he helped Muskegon win both the IHL Huber Trophy and IHL Turner Cup championships. In that season he led the IHL with 349 penalty minutes which was an IHL record. The following season he led the league again with 293 penalty minutes. During the 1972-73 season, Lynn Margarit was selected as member of the IHL All-Star team. During his career with the Muskegon Mohawks, Lynn was a member of: 5- division championship teams; 4-Huber Trophy teams (overall IHL regular season championship); and 1-Turner Cup team (IHL playoff championship). The all-star defenseman led the Mohawks in penalty minutes in seven of his eight seasons in Muskegon. He is the franchise’s all-time leader in penalty minutes. He set the hockey franchise’s record for most penalty minutes in one game with 42 on December 31, 1973, against the Saginaw Gears. After his playing career ended, Lynn worked in Muskegon, Michigan, with AAA Insurance and was active in the community. During the 1991-92 IHL season, his uniform number 5, was retired by the Muskegon hockey franchise.

Lynn’s family decided that they would like to give back to the area in which the Margarit family made their home. In Lynn’s memory they are starting the "Lynn Margarit Foundation," which is a non-profit organization to help children participate in youth sports. Many times there are children who are unable to participate in various sports related activities due to a lack of financial resources. Some times different organizations that sponsor youth sports need financial assistance to keep their youth programs viable. That is where the "Lynn Margarit Foundation," will come in to help them out. The foundation has been and will be in contact with schools and various sports programs to see where financial assistance is needed.

The Lynn Margarit Foundation was able to help Sam (photo right) participate in a Muskegon area youth sports program.

We need your help! Financial donations are welcome. Ideas and sports memorabilia will be appreciated as well. Please make checks or money - orders to the "Lynn Margarit Foundation."
