The Problem

The Cost of Hockey Is
Sidelining Families.

The annual cost of hockey for Canadian families continues to grow. Outfitting a growing player in the proper equipment — skates, helmet, pads, sticks — has become a significant driver of increase in cost to play.

The rising costs can result in kids, and families, having to make difficult decisions about whether or not to play the game before they've had a chance to fall in love with it.

Equipment doesn't disappear when a child outgrows it. It sits in basements, garages, and back rooms across the country — perfectly good gear that other families can put to good use.
