HELPING KIDS PLAY HOCKEY
Source for Sports is partnering with the NHL Players Association on the Goals and Dreams Game-Changer Award program.
The Goals and Dreams program helps economically disadvantaged children play the sport of hockey, and the Game-Changer Award assists individual families. As the equipment supplier, Source for Sports will fit and supply the hockey gear.
“No one should be left out of hockey because they can’t afford it,” said Randy Bishop, owner of Mad Dog’s Source for Sports in Abbotsford. “We are very excited to partner with the NHLPA and help give back to people in our community and help all kids enjoy the game.”
