Kraft Heinz, in partnership with the National Hockey League (NHL®) and the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) has announced that nominations are open for Kraft Hockeyville 2025 until Sunday, March 2, 2025, at 11:59 p.m. ET.
 
Since launching 19 years ago, Kraft Hockeyville has awarded over $5.1 million to 101 communities to address the growing costs associated with maintaining or upgrading aging arena infrastructure in Canada.
 
During the nomination period, Canadian communities can share their stories, highlighting their connection to the game and their local arenas. These stories form the legacy of Kraft Hockeyville, which was exemplified by last year’s winner: Elliot Lake, Ontario.
 
The Kraft Hockeyville 2025 grand prize winner will have an opportunity to host an NHL® pre-season game and receive $250,000 to be used towards arena upgrades. The three runner-up communities will be awarded $25,000 for arena upgrades, and the Top 4 finalists will also receive $10,000 in brand new hockey equipment to help more children play the game, courtesy of NHLPA Goals & Dreams.
