Welcome to Friends of Hockey
Friends of Hockey was formed in 2009 to provide assistance to families who could not otherwise place their children in minor hockey. Upon inception of the FOH organization, the National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA) agreed to fund 25 sets of new equipment each year through its Goals & Dreams program.
FOH is a private organization that is proud to fund all or part of a child's hockey costs (registration, equipment, etc.) in the strictest of confidence. We believe that every child in Woolwich has the right to play hockey, and we want to help deserving kids lace up. For information about how you can donate to FOH, see the Sponsorship page.

FOH Supports the Woolwich Hockey Academy
Friends of Hockey is pleased to announce continued support for the Woolwich Hockey Academy. Returning for a second year, the Woolwich Hockey Academy is a full day hockey-focused camp with 2 on-ice and 2 off-ice sessions a day. Programs are offered for Tyke, Novice, Atom, Pee Wee, Bantam and Midget levels. The Academy is located at the beautiful Woolwich Memorial Recreation Centre in Elmira. The players use the whole facility and all it has to offer. The Hockey School's main focus is skill development on and off the ice. Mastering the essential skills of skating , shooting and puck handling on the ice and building speed, agility and power off the ice is the goal. The programs are conducted in a fun and enjoyable learning environment to show the players that hard work can be fun. The players will track their own improvement and push to see how better they can be. Registration is now open for 2012 summer programs.
