The Ontario Minor Hockey Association is excited to partner with
KidSport Ontario for the first time in its history to help provide a
resource to remove some of the financial barriers for families.
KidSport provides funding for children under the age of 18 to
participate in a full season of sport. In 2019, the organization offered
more than $8.3 million to kids across Canada. KidSport believes when
kids have access to sport they improve in school, become stronger
leaders, create safer communities, ignite inclusivity and fuel healthy
habits for life.

Please take three minutes to complete the survey.
The impact of fall tryouts on hockey associations has been devastating. They not only impact those teams trying out in the fall (U10-U13) but also the spring tryout teams (U14-U18).
