How Can I Help Support Youth Hockey?
    Nothing encourages a child or young adult more than a pat on the back for a job well done!  The members of Tri-City Youth Hockey would like to invite everyone to support Youth Hockey by becoming one of the program's biggest fans.  The volunteers involved in this hockey league would like to extend an opportunity to everyone to support the Jr. Storm by assisting with a tax-deductible donation.
     Expenses mount when a youth becomes involved in hockey.  Just ask any of the parents involved how much they spend on equipment!  Yet, costs go beyond helmets, skates, sticks and padding; the expenses mainly born by parents.  The expense of mailings, registration, league equipment, programs, hockey school and financial scholarships add up as well.  Why game and practice time alone is a staggering $165 an hour for the ice!  So, how can you help?  Consider giving at one of our sponsorship levels listed below.  Encourage employers, businesses, and friends to show their support.  The more income generated the lower the costs to players and the more youth that can become involved.  Support Jr. Storm hockey... the coolest game around!

*Because participating in ice hockey entails largely personal expenditures more so than nearly any other sport, Tri-City Youth Hockey has formed a scholarship fund to support participants needing various levels of financial assistance.  Our goal is that no child shall be denied the opportunity to play youth hockey who wishes to do so.
