About the Let's Learn Hockey Program
In 2000 the Minor Hockey Foundation Ontario (MHF) was created to support minor hockey players in the Province of Ontario. This document will focus on the Let’s Learn Hockey Program portion of the Minor Hockey Foundation Ontario. The Let’s Learn Hockey Program provides children who are currently experiencing difficulty raising enough funds to participate in the game of ice hockey.
The plan of the program is to move the event to a different location in the province each year. Past LLHP events included participants from the Children’s Aid Society, Big Brother’s and Big Sister’s and residents of areas governed by the Ontario Minor Hockey Association (OMHA), Greater Toronto Hockey League (GTHL), Alliance Hockey and the Ontario Women’s Hockey Association (OWHA). The Minor Hockey Foundation Ontario is grateful to the government of Ontario for its generous financial support of our Let's Learn Hockey Program. Eligibility The Minor Hockey Foundation Ontario Board reviews all applications and a member of the Board contacts the applicant to confirm whether their request will be approved. Applications are not guaranteed spots in this program. All applicants must adhere to the following guidelines:
How to Apply
Please send complete applications to the following address: Minor Hockey Foundation Ontario Registration and Subsidy Participant Expenses Subsidy The MHF will provide a one-time subsidy to each LLHP participant up to a maximum of $500.00 towards minor hockey registration fees for the hockey season that immediately follows the event. A cheque will be issued directly to the applicant’s determined minor hockey association. After the Orientation Camp, an MHF representative will be in contact with all participants and assist in determining the hockey association responsible for registration in their individual areas. The affiliated minor hockey association will also be contacted by the MHF to inform them of the participant(s). Equipment Equipment will be sized by each individual based on a standard sizing chart provided by the MHF. Applicants who currently have sufficient equipment will not be allowed to request equipment for any future season. Participants may only apply for either defensemen or forward’s equipment. In the case of goaltenders, the Foundation will cover skates, pants, jock, helmet with cage and stick. On the day of the event, the MHF will loan the participant goaltender goalie pads, gloves, belly pad, etc., but the equipment must be returned at the end of the event. Most hockey associations that operate house league programs usually provide goalie pads to be used in competition at the local level. Each applicant must participate with their designated minor hockey association for the current season or surrender the equipment back to the MHF. Insurance During the Orientation Camp, all participants will have insurance coverage. Insurance coverage for participation in the LLHP Orientation Camp will be the responsibility of the MHF. Travel to and from the event will be at the parent, guardian or chaperone’s own risk and personal expense. Cancellation and Privacy Cancellation Privacy In this regard, the MHF will protect the privacy and security of all personal information disclosed to or collected or used by the MHF for the purposes of running its “Let’s Learn Hockey Program”. The MHF follows the ten (10) Canadian Standards Association principles identified in the federal PIPEDA. Each participant will have the option to “OPT OUT” in regard to the use of his or her personal information and image for the promotion of the LLHP. Download the Application |
Each year, minor hockey associations across the OMHA support numerous charities and charitable foundations. Thousands of dollars are generated and many causes and programs benefit from this support.
