This weekend, Next Shift Hockey Canada was proud to support the African Hockey Association by helping gear up 65 kids for their upcoming season, which begins in September.
This event was a powerful reminder of what can happen when community, generosity, and opportunity come together. Thanks to the incredible support of the NHLPA, we were able to provide 25 full sets of hockey equipment for this event. Because of the generosity of Amazon Canada, jerseys and sticks will also be purchased to help these young athletes step onto the ice with pride and confidence.
Events like this are exactly why Next Shift exists. For many families, the cost of hockey equipment, sticks, jerseys, and registration can be the barrier that keeps a child from ever getting the chance to play. By removing that barrier, we are giving these young athletes more than gear — we are giving them a place to belong, an opportunity to build friendships, confidence, teamwork, leadership, and memories that can last a lifetime. Hockey has the power to teach resilience, discipline, respect, and community, and every child deserves the chance to experience that regardless of their family’s financial situation.
No child should ever be left behind because of the cost of equipment.
Together, we are not just giving out gear — we are creating opportunity, building confidence, and helping grow the game the right way.
Give Gear. Change Lives.

June is National Indigenous History Month — a time to honour and recognize the rich cultures, traditions, stories, and contributions of First Nations, Inuit, and Métis Peoples across Canada.
At Next Shift Hockey Canada, we are proud to stand with First Assist Charity and support Indigenous communities by helping remove barriers to sport and creating opportunities for youth to experience the game of hockey in a positive, welcoming, and inclusive way.
Through equipment donations, community partnerships, and our commitment to making hockey more accessible, we remain dedicated to listening, learning, and working together with Indigenous communities to help ensure every young athlete has the chance to play, grow, and thrive.
This month, and every month, we stand in support of Indigenous youth, families, and communities.
Hockey is for everyone.
Give Gear. Change Lives.
