The Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and KidSport Alberta have teamed up to launch the KidSport Oil Country Hockey Assist Program! Read the full Press Release.
This initiative will support communities in Oil Country by alleviating the cost of playing hockey for kids from underrepresented groups. The reality is that hockey is expensive and for the cost to participate can be unattainable for families.
Together, we will ensure that ALL kids in Oil Country can play hockey.
Since 1998, KidSport Alberta has supported thousands local minor hockey players so they can play the game that they love.
**Please note that in order to apply for funding, your player(s) must already be registered/registering with a minor hockey association within Oil Country.
Step 1: Register your child with the Canadian Athletic Club.
Not sure which organization you should register with?
Step 2: Apply through KidSport Edmonton.
Step 3: If you require equipment, KidSport Edmonton will put you in touch with our equipment partner, Sport Central.
Approved applicants within Oil Country will have their full registration fees covered and have access to no-cost equipment from Sport Central.
If you do not qualify for KidSport Funding and you are still in need of financial support please email the Registrar for CAC at cachockeyregistrar@gmail.com for further assistance
