Hockey New Brunswick to provide grants for Female Hockey initiatives
Hockey New Brunswick is pleased to announce recipients from the World Junior 50/50 legacy that was co-hosted in Moncton and Halifax. Through the World Junior 50/50 proceeds, $88,000 was allocated to Female Hockey initiatives.
The grants are designed to strengthen female hockey programming, with a particular focus on three areas: Athlete Experience, Leadership, and Promotion. The primary objective is to achieve growth in the female game at every age group and level of play for players, coaches, and support staff.
After reviewing the grant applications, $52,875 of the legacy fund will be distributed among 10 female and co-ed associations and teams in New Brunswick. A second round of applications is now available, with an application deadline of September 1st. CLICK HERE to access the application form.
