The City of Winnipeg has brought back its annual campaign to collect gently-used hockey equipment at locations throughout the city. The donated equipment will be distributed to qualifying Winnipeg families by Sport Manitoba’s KidSport program, Winnipeg Minor Hockey and Hockey Manitoba.
The 2012 campaign collected enough gear to outfit approximately 500 young players. As well, retail outlet Play It Again Sports generously supported the drive with a donation of hockey and ringette sticks, and will be supplying the same to this year’s campaign.
Winnipeggers can drop off equipment at any city-owned and operated arena (see list below) and at City Hall until October 31, 2013.
