Lace'em up
Our grant provides funds for kids between the ages of 3 and 18. We do not fund kids enrolled in post secondary. Applications for grants open on July 1st. The deadline to submit an application is September 30th. Funding is limited and applications are processed on a first-come, first-served basis. The sooner you apply the greater the chance for funding, assuming you meet all eligibility requirements. Kids need to be registered with a hockey association and the money goes directly to the organization.
