It's called the Big Play.

Hockey Canada has teamed with Canadian Tire's Jumpstart Charity to try and increase minor hockey registrations across the country by 30,000.

“We are excited that The Big Play is available this year," commented Nicole Walchuk, Recreation Program Superviso for the City of Moose Jaw, which is helping facilitate the JumpStart program in the city. "This initiative really helps our local Chapter Budget as these funds come out of a larger, national budget. We encourage all hockey families to apply for funding through The Big Play as there are more funds available per child and will help stretch our funds further. But don’t delay, apply Monday or as early as possible because funding is allocated on a first come, first serve basis”, 

Up to 500 dollars per child is available, and Hockey programs must be offered at a hockey league or association that is registered with Hockey Canada. Moose Jaw Minor Hockey Association programs are acceptable.

Should a child receive funding through this program, it will count towards their maximum $600 funding for the year, which means that they can apply to access up to $100 more to support them in a different sport.

When the money in The Big Play fund has been exhausted, parents will no longer be able to submit applications for The Big Play funding. However, they will still be able to submit an application for hockey following the established application process for our regular quarterly intakes.
