History
The Kanata U15 Charity Tournament began in 2011/12, with 16 teams competing. A dedicated group of volunteers helped make the tournament a huge success with $7,675 raised in its first year.
Since then it has grown to 36 teams and has raised a total of $89,000 and counting.
We have been able to offer support to charities and community services such as The Youth Services Board of Ottawa in memory of Kanata teen Jamie Hubley as well as the Ruddy-Shenkman Hospice in Kanata and ‘’Hopes Rising’’ a campaign for mental health at the Queensway Carleton Hospital.
The Kanata U15 Charity Tournament has also supported equally wonderful causes The Youth Services Bureau to support mental health in memory of Michaela Martel. ,the Pyjama Patrol along with the KMHA Player Assistance Program all have benefited from your participation in our tournament.
In 2022/23 we will be supported the Kanata Food Cupboard and the Shepherds of Good Hope .
We thank you in advance for helping us make a difference in our community and in the lives of our youth through Hockey.
