🏒STICK TAPS ALL AROUND!🏒 A heartfelt thank you to Hockey Canada for their amazing support in shining a spotlight on our mission at Sport Central!🤝 Being included in the #HlinkaGretzkyCup was a huge honour, and we were proud to have our board members, Brent Lydiatt, CA and Wyan Shankaruk, present the Player of the Game award. 🙌 Together, we're making hockey accessible to all, one game at a time. Here’s to continuing to create opportunities for everyone to enjoy the game we love!❤️ Photo credit: 📸Hockey Canada #HockeyCanada #HockeyEdmonton #ChangingLivesThroughSport #yeg

🏒HOCKEY GEAR. SEASON'S HERE!🏒 The best part of gearing up for hockey season? Seeing the joy in kids’ eyes as they step onto the rink. This 6-year-old is all suited up and ready for his second year on the ice, and it’s so rewarding to see him continue his journey in the sport he loves. With the season just around the corner, we’re busy fitting young players like him, making sure they’re ready to score big on fun. Empowering kids, one piece of sports equipment at a time— is our mission, and we’re committed to helping them play, grow, and succeed! #YEGKids #YEGCharity #HockeySeason #YEG

Thank you Sport Edmonton! We are excited to get more Kids playing and having fun.

🛼WE'RE ON A ROLL! 🛼 In July, Sport Central volunteers zoomed through 116 rollerblade repairs, getting more kids ready to skate, play, and have a spin-tacular time. Got some rollerblades that are more ‘shelf decoration’ than ‘skate sensation’? 😉 Donate them to Sport Central and let’s keep the fun rolling for kids everywhere! Donate to one of our donation locations today! 📍 View the link below. https://lnkd.in/gh4Pq5dJ #SportCentralScoreboard #ChangingLivesThroughSport #YEGVolunteers

Sport Central is very appreciative of the partnership. We are all in for the kids!
