HOUSTON YOUTH HOCKEY GROUP LAUNCHES NEW COMMUNITY ENGAGEMENT PROGRAM FOR SUMMER

Houston, TX – This summer, the Houston Youth Hockey Group (HYHG) is excited to launch its Community Engagement Program, aimed at making hockey more accessible and affordable, especially in lower-income areas. This initiative not only introduces the sport to diverse communities but also provides the necessary resources—like equipment, ice time, and coaching—to those who might not otherwise have the opportunity to play hockey.

Empowering Through Hockey

The Community Engagement Program goes beyond teaching the fundamentals of hockey. It helps children develop essential life skills such as commitment, perseverance, and teamwork, crucial for their development both on and off the ice. By breaking down financial barriers and providing inclusive opportunities, HYHG aims to foster a diverse and inclusive hockey community in Houston.

Innovative Initiatives for Greater Accessibility

Off-Ice Equipment Donations: One of HYHG's key initiatives tackles the issue of limited ice availability in Houston, where high costs often prevent families from participating in hockey. The group is committed to donating dry land hockey equipment to institutions like schools and community centers, enabling individuals to practice and experience hockey without the cost burden. This approach not only makes the sport more accessible but also facilitates a smoother transition to on-ice play.

Program Highlights

NHL STREET: This street hockey league is all about fun, activity, and building friendships. It offers a low-cost entry point to the sport, teaching teamwork, creativity, and resilience. NHL STREET is designed to be accessible to everyone, ensuring that more families can enjoy the benefits of youth sports.

Roller Houston: A cutting-edge roller hockey program that provides an exciting alternative to ice hockey. Targeted at both current players and newcomers, Roller Houston aims to enhance accessibility, develop skills, and build community through sport. This program provides a structured environment where participants can improve their roller hockey skills and experience the thrill of the game.
