FUNDING
What is the KidSport Oil Country Hockey Assist Program (HAP)
The Hockey Assist Program (HAP) is funded by the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and funds a maximum of $750 towards registration fee connected to competition and season based ice hockey programs.
This initiative will support communities in Edmonton by alleviating the cost of playing hockey for kids from underrepresented groups. The reality is that hockey is expensive and for the cost to participate can be unattainable for families.
Together, we will ensure that ALL kids in Oil Country can play hockey.
Since 1998, KidSport Alberta has supported thousands local minor hockey players so they can play the game that they love.
Note, you must be registered prior to applying for funding.
