Every Kid Every Community Grant Impact Story: Maskwacîs Indigenous Youth Hockey School💙

Hockey Alberta and the Hockey Alberta Foundation gifted mini sticks, foam pucks, stickers, and Croc charms to Rocky Hockey Indigenous Programs in Maskwacis and the response was pretty special.

“These kids truly appreciated that they got to take the sticks and pucks home. It was a huge highlight for them.”

Thank you to Rocky Hockey Indigenous Programs for sharing the smiles and helping us spread the best parts of the best game! 💙
