Mission Statement
The Hockey Foundation unites the passion for growing the sport of hockey globally to the vision of using the sport to improve the lives of people all over the world.
Description
The Hockey Foundation's objective is to change the lives of people in under-served, remote regions of the world. We use ice hockey to empower youth, support community development, and foster international understanding and cooperation. To do this, we coach as many children (and adults) as we can, teaching the game in a way that not only develops fundamental skills on the ice, but reinforces the principles that make the game so special: teamwork, accountability, selflessness, toughness and critical thinking. In order to impact as many children as possible (since change starts with teaching a new generation) we also donate equipment collected around North America (especially in the New York City area) to local clubs that can then distribute to the members/people in their community.
