I think it started out as a hockey mom wanting to help (I believe the original goal was $10 000) and then it just blew up as many people want to do something but don't really have the power to do anything besides donate money. I read the description and they are working with the team now, so hopefully it will go where it can help the most.
That's kind of the problem with a big donation push right away. No one really knows what the best use of the money is yet. I wonder if at some point, after providing direct help to those involved, it will go towards some kind of memorial scholarship (hockey related) type thing? Although if some of the survivors have serious long term injuries, like paralysis, specialized equipment could go through the money in a hurry.
