Hockey Canada Assist Fund
HOCKEY CANADA FOUNDATION ASSIST FUND NOW OPEN FOR APPLICATIONS
Good morning.
Today, the Hockey Canada Foundation opened applications for the Hockey Canada Foundation Assist Fund.
The Hockey Canada Foundation Assist Fund was created in response to the many families experiencing financial challenges. The goal of the Fund is to help Canadian youth access hockey and play the game they love.
The Assist Fund will provide up to $500 per player in registration fee subsidies to approved
applicants who are registered with a Hockey Canada- sanctioned association. For the 2024-25 season, the Assist Fund commits to providing $1 million/2,000 assists to kids across Canada to help them access hockey.
Since 2020, the Hockey Canada Foundation Assist Fund has granted over 3.8 million dollars and has given over 8,558 assists.
Applications will remain opened until $1 million of assists have been accepted. Only applications that are submitted with sufficient documentation will be processed and all applications will be assessed on a first come, first served basis. Once this limit has been reached, the Assist Fund application portal will be closed, and no further applications will be accepted for the remainder of the season. In addition, any applications which were submitted but were not assessed prior to the limit being reached will not be approved, regardless of whether they would have otherwise met HCF’s eligibility criteria.
The Assist Fund will no longer be distributing payments to MHAs via cheque. All payments will be made by direct deposit or e-transfer. Payments will be distributed by November 30th. Please see the links below for MHAs to add electronic payment information.
