Investing in the Future of Canadian Hockey
The Canadian Hockey Foundation provides a new source of secure, sustainable, long term funding to support
the future development and delivery of Hockey Canada programs, projects, and activities.

The Foundation accepts donations for the purpose of establishing and growing a selection of endowment and
general purpose Funds. Caring Canadians who want to give back to the game can now do so knowing their gift to
the Foundation will have an impact for generations to come.
Working with the Hockey Canada team, the Foundation puts gifts to work to help ensure Canada remains at the
forefront in the development and promotion of amateur hockey.
