SaskEnergy joins with SJHL and KidSport to help youth participate in sport<\/u><\/strong><\/p>\n

SaskEnergy is teaming up with KidSport Saskatchewan and the Saskatchewan Junior Hockey League (SJHL) to help more kids participate in sport.<\/p>\n

Under the Goals for KidSport program, SaskEnergy will donate $20 to KidSport for every home goal scored by an SJHL team during the league\u2019s 2022-23 regular season\u2014up to 1,000 goals or $20,000. KidSport will use the funding to provide grants to help cover the costs of enrollment so that kids aged 5-18 years in Saskatchewan can play a season of sport.<\/p>\n

\u201cWe\u2019re thrilled to join with the SJHL and KidSport Saskatchewan to bring back \u2018Goals for KidSport\u2019 for its ninth season,\u201d SaskEnergy\u2019s Community Engagement Supervisor Allix Schweitzer said. \u201cEnrolling young people in sport can be expensive for them and their families, and this program helps reduce those financial obstacles.\u201d<\/p>\n

During its first eight seasons, Goals for KidSport raised nearly $210,000 to help more Saskatchewan youth participate in sport across the province.<\/p>\n

\u201cThe SJHL is honoured to continue this partnership and bring back the Goals for KidSport program,\u201d SJHL Director of Marketing and Partnerships Jacob Faith said. \u201cPartnerships like this that give back to the community while engaging with on-ice play are the types of relationships that are valuable beyond measure for our league. We\u2019re all looking forward to the race for the KidSport Cup this season!\u201d<\/p>\n

\u201cThis amazing partnership is such a good alignment between SJHL teams in our communities and KidSport chapters,\u201d KidSport Provincial Coordinator Tammy Hoffart said. \u201cWe know kids in these communities dream of being on the ice for their team where their role models skate out to play. We love that we can provide the opportunity, through this initiative, for more kids to get on the ice to work toward their dreams.\u201d<\/p>\n

This year\u2019s Goals for KidSport program features 11 SJHL Game Nights that will include intermission activities\u2014such as \u201cShooter Tutor\u201d and \u201cChuck-a-Puck\u201d\u2014to help get the crowd involved. All funding raised during the Game Nights will stay in the home team\u2019s community.<\/p>\n

The Game Nights begin on October 7 and conclude at the end of February:<\/p>\n
