Founder and President
Josh Krajewski (U.S. Army, 2005-09)
Army veteran Josh Krajewski founded the Michigan Warriors in 2013, driven by his own desire to live life like he did before deployment after being injured. Krajewski, an Army specialist with five years of active duty service, was deployed overseas during Operation Iraqi Freedom and Operation Enduring Freedom. After suffering a back injury, Krajewski’s physical therapist suggested he get into some form of physical activity to help with the rehabilitation process. Growing up a fan of the sport but never having actually played it, Krajewski decided to pick up the game of hockey and instantly fell in love.
“It helped me physically right off the bat,” he said. “Then I got the idea that there’s tons and tons of other disabled veterans in the state that might not have the opportunity to get off the couch and do it on their own. So I thought to myself ‘why is there no program for disabled veteran hockey? There should be one.’”
