Hockey Helps the Homeless Tournament Comes to the Okanagan
Join the Hockey Helps the Homeless Charity Hockey Tournament at Capital News Centre
CAPITAL NEWS CENTRE
Hockey Helps the Homeless is bringing its powerful mission to the Okanagan for the first time with an exciting charity Hockey Tournament designed to unite the Hockey community and support vulnerable youth and families.
For years, Hockey Helps the Homeless has become one of Canada’s most respected charity hockey organizations, combining the passion of hockey with meaningful community impact. Since its inception, the organization has granted more than $28 million nationwide to partner agencies supporting homelessness prevention, youth development, mental health programs, and community outreach initiatives.
The Okanagan Tournament marks an important expansion for the organization as players, sponsors, businesses, and hockey families come together at Capital News Center for a full day of Hockey, community engagement, and fundraising.
