2012 Hockey Grant from How To Hockey

Congratulations to the Chillihitzia family and the Bieda family. My initial plan was to pay for one child’s hockey registration but I had so many applicants for the grant that I found it extremely difficult to choose just one person. After reviewing all the applications I narrowed it down to about 5 people who could really use the money. I couldn’t choose just one so I decided to live on a tight budget so I could afford to give away two $400 grants. Of the 5 people who made the short list I chose two at random to receive the grant. Thank you to everyone who entered and be sure to apply for the other grants linked below!

As a hockey player I know how much of an impact hockey had on my life and I want to help others share the same experience. I make a bit of money on this site from advertising and selling my stickhandling guide and I want to give back to the hockey community. I have made a habit of donating a bit here and there to hockey charities like the Canadian Tire jump start foundation and donating hockey sticks to toy drives, but this year I want to help pay for hockey registration.

I will be giving away a $400 grant to pay for (or help pay for) a child’s hockey registration.

To apply for the grant simply send an email to [email protected] and include the following information

• Your name:

• Why this child needs the grant:
• Age of child:

If you know a child who wants to play hockey, but can not afford to play you can recommend them, or send this link to their parents and have them apply

Send information to [email protected]

The grant recipient will be picked on September 1st and notified shortly after
