At Spokane Youth Hockey, we are committed to providing opportunities for young athletes to participate in the wonderful sport of hockey. We understand that financial considerations should never hinder a player's ability to pursue their passion and reach their full potential. Therefore, we are pleased to announce our comprehensive approach to scholarships, fundraising, player sponsorships, and ensuring hockey remains affordable for all families.

Scholarships: We firmly believe that talent should be nurtured and recognized regardless of financial circumstances. To that end, we work with a network of local organizations, foundations, and individuals who assist promising young players who demonstrate exceptional skills, dedication, and a genuine love for the game. These scholarships will cover a portion or, in certain cases, the full cost of participation, including registration fees, equipment, and other associated expenses. Our goal is to ensure that no talented player is ever deprived of the opportunity to thrive on the ice due to financial constraints.

Fundraising: Spokane Youth Hockey offers numerous opportunities for players to earn fundraising dollars back to their seasons, including our Winter Raffle, Wreath Sale, Restaurant Nights, Spokane Chiefs Ticket Vouchers, home tournament/jamboree fundraising, and more! These opportunities are discussed with families during Back to Hockey Week at the beginning of the season.

Player Sponsorships: In addition to scholarships, we are actively seeking partnerships with individuals and businesses who share our vision of supporting young athletes. Through our player sponsorship program, generous sponsors have the opportunity to contribute towards a player's financial obligations, offering them the chance to excel in their hockey journey. These sponsorships can help cover expenses such as training camps, travel costs, specialized coaching, and other resources that enhance a player's development. We believe that by fostering a network of supportive sponsors, we can create a thriving community that empowers young hockey players to succeed.

Team/Association Sponsorships: Spokane Youth Hockey is proud to offer a robust team and Association sponsorship program with opportunities for players to earn 10% of each sponsorship they bring in as a finder's fee! Learn more about our Sponsorships

Keeping Hockey Affordable: Recognizing the importance of accessibility, we are committed to keeping hockey affordable for all families. We continually strive to manage our costs efficiently and explore partnerships that allow us to secure affordable ice time, equipment deals, and other resources. We actively seek grants, fundraising opportunities, and community collaborations to supplement our efforts in reducing the financial burden on families. Our aim is to create an inclusive environment where any child with a passion for hockey can participate and benefit from the invaluable life lessons and experiences the sport has to offer.

We are dedicated to ensuring that financial constraints are not barriers to participation in hockey. Through our ongoing efforts to keep hockey affordable, we are committed to creating a level playing field where every aspiring player can thrive and chase their dreams. Together, we can build a stronger, more inclusive hockey community that celebrates talent, hard work, and the joy of the game.
