Inspired by our first hockey drive in 2014 there have been over 100 hockey drives with each growing larger than the last to the point where over 1,000 bags and up to 2,000 sticks are accumulated and donated to 30 or more Indigenous communities in Canada. As of October 2026, a total of 6,900 bags of gently used & new gear and over 11,000 sticks have been donated to 83 different Indigenous communities.

On November 6, 2023, we delivered 100 bags and 200 sticks to an Indigenous community in Behchoko, Northwest Territories…one hour northwest of Yellowknife. The 17 skids of equipment travelled over 4,500 KMs to reach its destination by train and truck. The community started a hockey association shortly after, with the aid of this donation. In February of 2025, we delivered 32 skids of hockey gear to Winnipeg bound for six Northern Manitoba Indigenous communities…Thanks to Michael Birch and retired NHL Stanley Cup and Conn Smythe winner, Reggie Leach, for introducing these communities to us. In April of 2026, we delivered 9 skids of hockey gear as well as numerous soccer and volley balls to Elsipogtog, New Brunswick's largest First Nation Reserve. Thank you to CN for assisting with all these long-distance deliveries!!
