HHTH Pro Roster: TBA

At Hockey Helps the Homeless (HHTH), they leverage Canada’s affinity for hockey to raise awareness and financial support for the homeless through education, fundraising, and by partnering with solutions-based local homeless support agencies.

HHTH believes that every Canadian should have a safe place to call home and the supports that they need to thrive. To ensure all homeless and at-risk Canadians have a fighting chance, they host Pro-Am hockey tournaments across Canada where players raise funds to make a direct impact in their own community.

This year Hockey Helps the Homeless is excited to be hosting its 18th annual charity hockey tournament between the mountains in the beautiful city of Calgary. Since inception, HHTH has granted over $39 million nationally to partner agencies. All net proceeds from the Calgary event will support YWCA of Calgary, iNN from the Cold, Trellis Society, and Habitat for Humanity Southern Alberta.

HHTH is a not-for-profit hockey charity with over 30,000 donors, 4,000 players, and 1,000 volunteers that participates annually, and together, “play with purpose.” 100% of net proceeds stay local in the city that host the tournaments and with your support, they are able to partner with over 82 local homeless support agencies across Canada. Since 1996, HHTH has granted over $39 million to face-off against homelessness.

Hockey Helps the Homeless focuses on two main categories to assist its partners: housing projects and supports. Housing projects include emergency housing, renovations, furnishing, and men, women, youth & family shelters. Supports for clients include recreation, health & wellness, staff support, meals, mental health services, addiction services, storage, transportation, education, outreach, and skills building. With HHTH’s help over the years, hockey has brought together passionate leaders in the community who are dedicated to shutting out homelessness.
