Make a donation
Fuel the game for kids who can’t afford it
Your gift is the engine behind everything we do: registration scholarships, equipment repair, storage and community clinics.
Our mission
Making hockey accessible to every kid who wants to play
By recycling quality equipment and providing financial aid, we help young players build confidence, teamwork and a love for the game.
Registration Scholarships
We cover local program registration fees so families can focus on their child’s growth — not their bank statement.
Equipment Rental
Complete packages of gently used gear are available as low-cost season rentals, keeping quality equipment in rotation.
Cleaning & Maintenance
Returned gear is professionally cleaned, repaired and safety-checked so it lasts longer and is ready for the next player.
Questions
Frequently asked questions
Who can nominate a child?
Anyone who knows a child who would benefit — a parent or guardian, coach, teacher or family friend. Families can also apply for their own child.
What areas do you serve?
We currently serve families in Northwest Ohio and Southeast Michigan.
What condition should donated gear be in?
Gently used and safe to wear. We clean and inspect everything, but we can’t use items that are cracked, expired or badly damaged. When in doubt, contact us.
Is my donation tax-deductible?
The Hockey Access Foundation is a 501(c)(3) nonprofit organization. Please consult your tax advisor about your specific situation.
How can my team or business get involved?
Groups can host a gear drive, volunteer together at a maintenance day, or sponsor registration scholarships. Get in touch and we’ll find the right fit.
