28 Oct 2nd Annual Equipment Drive for Indigenous Youth
The NYHL will be hosting it’s second annual Hockey Equipment Drive in support of Indigenous youth access to Canada’s greatest game. In collaboration with Their Opportunity, last year’s drive received donations of over 130 bags of hockey equipment and 140 hockey sticks over the two days. Their Opportunity drives have grown larger each year to the point where today, 1,000 bags of equipment are donated each Fall to Indigenous communities across Ontario.
