Let's get kids out of the stands and onto the ice this year!
what is the Oil Country Hockey Assist Program?
The Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation and KidSport Alberta have teamed up for the THIRD year to launch the KidSport Oil Country Hockey Assist Program (HAP)! The HAP program is dedicated to increasing access to youth hockey across Oil Country!
Approved applicants are eligible to receive up to $750 per player for their registration fees, as well as access to no-cost equipment from Sport Central.
IT'S BACK!
In two seasons of the HAP program, we funded over 3,000 kids into hockey and we are excited to grow that number for the 2024/25 hockey season!
HOW DO I APPLY?
In order to apply for the KidSport Oil Country Hockey Assist Program, first register with your local hockey association.
After registering, apply for KidSport funding through our standard application process.
