FINANCIAL ASSISTANCE FOR HOCKEY REGISTRATION

The following programs offer funding for hockey. There is no restriction on applying for grants from multiple sources as long as your family meets their requirements. If you require assistance paying for hockey, please explore using these options right away – all programs have limited funding.

Canadian Tire Jump Start https://jumpstart.canadiantire.ca/pages/individual-child-grants

KidSport https://kidsportcanada.ca/nova-scotia/provincial-fund/

Hockey Canada Assist Fund https://assistfund.hockeycanadafoundation.ca/en/page/apply.html

If your family is applying/has qualified for financial assistance through any funding organizations please let the Treasurer know to expect the payment by sending an email to treasurer@chbawings.org when you begin the registration process.                                                                                                                                            

A portion of CHBA Wings 50/50 revenue has been set aside for player financial assistance. We will provide top-up funds to families who require additional assistance in paying registration, try out and conditioning camp fees after receiving financial support from the funding organizations listed above. You must communicate your request along with the confirmation of financial support from one of the funding organizations to the Treasurer (treasurer@chbawings.org) before September 20^th.

Please note that you must pay any balance owing after funding is confirmed in order for your player(s) to be considered in good standing and eligible to participate in hockey activities. For example, if a player’s registration, tryout and conditioning camp fees are $1,090 and it is confirmed they are receiving $500 in funding, the remaining balance of $590 is still due by September 20^th.
