Edmonton, Alberta (August 26, 2022)\u00a0<\/strong>– As a part of the KidSport Oil Country Hockey Assist Program, through which qualified kids in Alberta from Red Deer north will have their full registration fees covered and access to no-cost equipment, Sport Central is hosting an outfitting day to get kids all the gear they need to play this hockey season. Thanks to the $2 Million donation from the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation to launch the KidSport Oil Country Hockey Assist Program, Sport Central was able to ensure they had all the equipment they needed to get qualified kids on the ice.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n The cost of hockey equipment only adds to the financial barrier that low-income families face when trying to get their kids into the sport. Through the KidSport Oil Country Hockey Assist Program, KidSport Alberta and Sport Central are working hand-in-hand to make hockey more accessible to kids in our community. Today alone, over 10 kids will walk through Sport Central’s doors to get outfitted from head to toe and see their hockey dreams come to life.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n Families in Oil Country can go to kidsportHAP.ca<\/a> to learn more and register.<\/p>\r\n <\/p>\r\n
