Mentorship Programs

To help foster the next generation of hockey coaches, we’ve teamed up with local hockey organizations to create unique apprenticeship programs for high school students. Each apprentice works with three coaches, gets paid, and connected to other programs that help them advance their hockey careers.

Off-Ice Support

We know how important on-ice support is for youth, but off-ice support is equally important. Ontario high school students can volunteer with HDA to reach their 40 hours of volunteer hours required to graduate. Responsibilities include being involved with the On-Ice program, helping coaches with attendance, supporting coaches, and more.

Scholarships

Through Akim Aliu’s foundation, Time To Dream, HDA is proud to offer scholarships to children and youth.

The Time to Dream Foundation aims to make youth sports, including the game of hockey, more diverse, inclusive, affordable and accessible to all — regardless of race, gender and socioeconomic background. The foundation strongly focuses on promoting equality and tolerance not only within sports, but also within society, while advocating for civil rights and fairness. By removing barriers to participation, Time to Dream leverages the sporting experience to help youth achieve success in life.
