The EGMHA Hockey 4 Hunger program was established in 2007 by parents to teach our players in the association the importance of “giving back” to the community with something many of us take for granted – FOOD!

Over the past 13 years, the Hockey 4 Hunger fundraiser has generated over 144,000 LBS of non-perishable items to donate our local food banks.

As we are all aware, Minor Hockey looks different this season as we deal with the current pandemic. Our 2020 Hockey 4 Hunger program will also be different this year in order to keep our players, families and community safe. With being said, we have created an online monetary donation fundraising platform. How we give back will be different this year, but as an association our most important goal is still to teach our players how our donations will provide food and support to those who are less fortunate in our community.

Being born a right arm amputee hasn’t stopped Audrey from living a full and active life. As a member of The War Amps Child Amputee (CHAMP) Program, she received financial assistance for the cost of a device that allows her to hold onto her hockey stick.   Read More

Please note that we have now transitioned to the Sportsheadz Health Check App for our health screenings.  

All players/coaches entering the building MUST complete and pass a Health Check in order to attend your event. If your player (or you as a coach) are not attending your practice (or games eventually) then you MUST mark in the app you are NOT attending. We need to ensure our contact tracing records are accurate. 

Please refer to Parent_Health_Check_App_Instructions for assistance in setting up the app and completing the Health Checks.

We thank you in advance for your help in keeping our hockey community safe!
