Kruger Products will again award $25,000 to five minor hockey associations (one per geographical region) to help make the game more accessible and inclusive. Each regional recipient will also be eligible for an additional $75,000 Grand Prize, decided by a public vote in April.
Once again, Kruger Products will award five minor hockey associations across Canada – one per geographical region – with a $25,000 grant to help make the game more accessible and inclusive. Each regional recipient will then be eligible for an additional $75,000 Grand Prize; meaning your association could receive up to $100,000.
Since its launch, the Kruger Big Assist has donated over $1 million to 55+ minor hockey communities nationwide – with 16 being from Ontario.
The 2025 Grand Prize recipient North Halton Girls Hockey Association is located in one of Canada’s fastest-growing communities. The association will be using their donation to offer free fundamental hockey programming, subsidized registration fees and introduce translation services to ensure language barriers don’t stop new-to-Canada kids from playing hockey.
