Behind Every Goal is a Dream

Is your community hockey program looking to help more youth play the game of hockey? Start by registering and submitting an application to NHLPA Goals & Dreams to potentially receive a donation of new hockey equipment. We welcome applications from teams, organizations and grassroots hockey programs from around the world that want to give kids the chance to play the game.

NHLPA staff will work with you to complete the application and answer any questions you may have. If your program is awarded an equipment donation, NHLPA members will make sure your players get the equipment they need. From skates and sticks to helmets and pads, NHLPA Goals & Dreams grants put full sets of gear directly into the hands of young athletes.

Once a program is approved, you can select the equipment that best suits your need as an organization. NHLPA staff will work with you to order the equipment, help with coordinating the announcement of the donation and ensure the equipment arrives in a timely manner. With safe, quality equipment, your players can focus on the fun of the game, making new friendships, building skills and confidence on and off the ice.
