Grow the Game! Support Hockey with Donations & Sponsorship Opportunities

Do you love hockey?! Do you want to help us make hockey more accessible to kids and adults of all ages – especially by breaking down the barriers of entry? Through our organization, Pick Up Sticks Hockey, we are raising money to grow the game and help kids get involved in hockey no matter what their circumstances.

Sponsorship Opportunities

Pick Up Sticks Hockey aims to grow the game tremendously in our area and beyond. We recently completed the project of saving and rebuilding The Rink at New Hanover. Now we are working to get a portable scoreboard, bleachers, a shed, and extra sticks and equipment so ANYONE can play hockey. We are also excited to host instructional clinics for kids!

On October 5, 2024, we are hosting an All Girls’ and Women’s Ball Hockey Tournament – open to all girls and women in hockey, no skating required. This tournament is just shy of a year from when our beautiful journey began in saving the rink and growing the game.

Keeping Hockey Accessible

The hockey available in our area is a tremendous upgrade from what some of us grew up with!

Some of us grew up playing roller hockey in parking lots chasing the ball downhill with no boards to stop it, or finally wising up and playing hockey in the fenced-in tennis courts… Or worse of all, playing in the streets and watching out for unsuspecting cars.

We are lucky here in our area, but we know not everyone has a free and accessible place to play hockey.

For so many, hockey brings an incredible joy to life and we want to see so many more people playing hockey and loving life!

We have BIG DREAMS to GROW THE GAME and spread the love of hockey everywhere! The beautiful new rink at New Hanover Community Park is *just the beginning* – we can’t wait to get even more sticks in hands!

We would love to join forces in this and work together to grow hockey. To grow youth hockey. To grow girls hockey. To encourage active adults to remember what it feels like to play a sport and be a kid again.

Hockey Enhances Life in a Lot of Ways!

  • It’s great exercise!
  • Hockey builds Community.
  • Friendships in hockey are for life.
  • The positive, supportive environment feeds your soul.
  • ANYONE can play hockey!

Funding Goals

Funds raised will help us to host hockey clinics and play days so anyone can try hockey! We are gathering sticks and equipment for our community to use, minimizing costs of entry into the sport. We definitely need a shed to store the sticks and equipment! Bleachers and a portable scoreboard are also on our wish list. We are so excited to Grow the Game in many other ways!
