Part of proceeds will be given back to associations to grow game at community level

The Ontario Minor Hockey Association and Weekend Hockey Tournaments are once again hosting two Hockey is Fun tournaments this season to raise money for grassroots Grow the Game initiatives that promote positive minor hockey experiences.

Part of the proceeds from the tournaments will be given back to local minor hockey associations within the OMHA to support their efforts to bring in new families to the game of hockey at a community level. This can include try hockey events, equipment programs, or ways that you shine a light on the positive benefits of minor hockey.

Last season, the OMHA and Weekend Hockey awarded $5,000 to Ajax-Pickering Minor Hockey and $2,500 each to Lefroy and Norwood Minor Hockey for their local grow the game initiatives.

Associations - tell us what you’re doing to grow the game in the 2025-26 season for a chance to win funding for your grassroots campaigns using this form by September 22nd.

Weekend Hockey is hosting two two #HockeyIsFun tournaments this season, with proceeds being distributed to chosen Associations for their grow the game initiatives:

These tournaments help remind us of why we all love the game – because #HockeyIsFun. This is the time of year that the lasting memories from minor hockey are made, when we suit up on the road at a tournament and spend time together as our second family. Let’s keep building together as teams and remember to be helpful in our communities. 

This is also your opportunity to wear Hockey is Fun with the official #HockeyIsFun apparel line in partnership with Bardown Apparel.
