Hockey Nova Scotia and their 33 Minor Hockey Associations Team Up to Raise Close to $20,000.00 for KidSport

The understanding that every child does not always have the opportunity to participate in sports was what motivated the 33 Minor Hockey Associations that make up HNS to contribute to the KidSport program.

Each MHA collected one dollar per registered player and coach and donated the funds to Kidsport to provide children who otherwise may not have the opportunity the chance to experience the thrill of ice hockey. Hockey Nova Scotia is proud to administer the collection of these fees and even more proud to present Sport Nova Scotia CEO, Jamie Ferguson with a cheque for $19,840.00 at the Hockey Nova Scotia Annual Awards Banquet on May 14, 2011.

Kidsport annually allocates over $400,000, to 1,700 plus families in Nova Scotia to assist them in their desire to participate in sport. Over 500 of these families are involved in hockey.
