The Saskatchewan Hockey Association has announced the creation of the Minor Hockey Association (MHA) Matching Grant Program.
This one-time opportunity is 小蓝视频 offered to the 200 registered MHAs across the province. A total of $200,000 has been allocated by the SHA towards the grant program, which will see each MHA eligible to receive up to $1,000.
鈥淲e understand that the past twelve months have been especially tough on our associations. As an organization, we felt this was a way to help associations recoup costs incurred with the introduction of cross-ice at the under-7 and half-ice at the under-9 age groups, along with other capital expenditures in the area of development,鈥� said Sask. Hockey general manager Kelly McClintock.
To be eligible, each association must submit receipts through an online form which will open on May 1. The receipts must indicate a purchase made by the association for player development equipment such as half-ice boards, portable bumper pads, on-ice coaching aids (such as mini-nets, stickhandling apparatuses and/or shooter tutors).
Sask. Hockey will then match the amount spent by each association up to a maximum of $1,000. The eligible purchases can be pre-dated from May 2017 up until the closing date of Aug. 31.
