Is your community the next Kraft Hockeyville?
Nominations are now being accepted for 2022.
Canadians looking to nominate their community and arena should submit their story online at KraftHockeyville.ca before April 3rd.
The grand prize winner will have an opportunity to host an NHL preseason game and receive $250,000 to be used towards arena upgrades, and will also receive the title of Kraft Hockeyville 2022.
This year’s winner and each of the three-runner-up communities will also receive $10,000 to purchase new hockey equipment for their minor hockey programs.
According to the Kraft Hockeyville Community Hockey Survey, 85 per cent of Canadians agree that hockey is a catalyst to bringing communities together, but nearly 50 per cent say the pandemic has negatively impacted the important community connection the game creates.
Since its inception in 2006, Kraft Hockeyville has awarded $4.1 million to 89 communities across Canada and has celebrated 13 NHL preseason games in eight different provinces.
