Supporting Indigenous Youth Through Hockey
Proudly partnering with the Indigenous Hockey Equipment Drive (IHED) to help break barriers and bring Canada’s game to communities across the country.
About the Indigenous Hockey Equipment Drive
The Indigenous Hockey Equipment Drive (IHED) is a key program of Their Opportunity, a sports charity based in Oshawa, Ontario. Since its inception in 2014, IHED has worked to make hockey more accessible for Indigenous youth by collecting and distributing gently used and new equipment to communities across Canada.
What began as one team supporting a single community has grown into a national effort, helping remove barriers to entry in a sport that can often be cost-prohibitive, especially in remote areas.

Why This Work Matters
Hockey is an important part of Canadian culture, but the cost of equipment can make it inaccessible for many families. Through initiatives like IHED, Indigenous youth are given the opportunity to participate, develop skills, and experience the sense of community that comes with the game.
This program helps ensure that more young people can get on the ice, regardless of geographic or financial barriers.
