Submit a Hockey Canada Community story

The Hockey Canada Community program is made up of two foundational components – Community and Champion.

Community tells stories of giving back to or helping grow the game. It could be a hockey team coming together to lead a food bank drive, or one of our 13 Member branches creating opportunities for inclusivity – Community shines a light on teams, events or programs making a difference.
