Where the money goes
Every number is on our numbers page, with how we got it.
A full set of equipment, all in, is $750: skates, a helmet with a cage, gloves, shoulder and elbow pads, shin guards, pants, a stick, a jersey, socks, a base layer and a bag, and every piece is the child's to keep. Coaching is donated, so it costs nothing. The other large line is ice. All in, one camper costs $1,060, including the equipment they keep.

Our GoFundMe is the fastest way to give. If you would rather arrange something directly, or you are giving on behalf of an organization, use our gift form and we will set it up.
In memory or in honour
Giving in someone's name
Gifts in memory of somebody, or in honour of a coach, a parent or a child who plays, are welcome. Tell us the name and how you would like it recorded, and we will write to whoever you ask us to. A gift made in somebody's name puts exactly the same child on the ice as any other gift.
In a will
Leaving something later
If you are writing a will and want to leave something to an incorporated not-for-profit organization in Ontario that puts children on the ice, we would be glad to talk. It is a short conversation, and we will show you exactly how your gift would be put to work.
The Blue Line Club
Giving monthly
$90 a month is $1,080 a year, about one child's camp, through the Blue Line Club.
Other ways to give
Not everything has to be money
Equipment, ice time, transport and lunches are all things we buy. If you can supply one of them, or donate coaching hours, that is a donation.
The equipment drive
Your child outgrew their skates. Somebody else's child has never owned a pair.
