HOCKEY FOR HOSPICE

Hockey For Hospice is an annual event, held every year from December 27th to December 29th. The tournament hosts approximately 2,000 young hockey players annually, ranging from ages 4-14, at a number of local arenas. Each of the players collect pledges from friends and family, and to date, they have raised more than $5.2 million for Hospice. Hockey For Hospice not only allows children to take part in a fun, well-organized hockey tournament, it also teaches them the importance of giving back to their community from a young age. The Hockey for Hospice Committee is made up of dedicated volunteers who work year-round to ensure a fabulous event and are always looking for opportunities to grow and improve.
