On December 6, 2019, HHTH launched the Winnipeg tournament, the home of our National Founding Sponsor, Canada Life.
In their inaugural event, HHTH Winnipeg granted $105,000 for three local organizations: RaY, Willow Place, and Red Road Lodge.
Proceeds assisted in mental health and prevention programs at the beneficiaries, as well as PPE and N-95 masks during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Proceeds go towards five organizations in the Waterloo Region - YW K-W, Lutherwood, House of Friendship, Cambridge Shelter Corporation, and oneRoof Youth Services.
During the 2020 COVID-19 global pandemic, Hockey Helps the Homeless was forced to put their pro-am tournament season on hold.
HHTH teamed up with Bardown Hockey to create an exclusive, limited edition clothing line called "Stay the Puck Home" with 100% of the net proceeds helped raise emergency funds for our beneficiaries across Canada.
The funding went towards a variety of COVID-19 emergency needs including personal protective equipment (PPE), additional staffing costs, sanitization, hygiene products, and programming.
