This last year we did sport well! We saw a community really build and I'm excited to see what we can do together this coming season."
"Sport, when done well, is about coming together. Through partners like KidSport, Free Play for Kids and many more, the EOCF is helping enable youth hockey programming with a goal to increase participation of under-represented groups in our community. Not only does it fuel healthy habits, academic success and mental health, it cultivates our future leaders, ignites inclusivity and leads to a safer, more prosperous Oil Country. The EOCF believes deeply that youth participation in sport is a key to the future success of our communities. The EOCF's main goals continue to be to grow the game of hockey for boys and girls in Oil Country, meet the needs of Edmonton's downtown community by engaging with organizations who are focused on delivering programs aimed at those most vulnerable, and stepping up in times of community need and crisis. Since 2001, the EOCF has been a proud supporter of Oil Country and our community's success. Through these organizations and individuals, we are able to make a life-changing impact in our communities, our country, and the world." "I also want to thank this year's charitable partners for their unwavering giving spirit and dedication to bettering our community. So, whether it was through volunteering, charitable donations, or purchasing 50/50 tickets throughout the Oilers season and playoff run, I want to say thank you for your support. "This money will help grow the game of hockey and make it accessible for all kids in Oil Country, help deliver programs aimed at those most vulnerable in our communities, and allow us to step up with timely support when families across Oil Country need us most. "The unwavering support and generosity of Albertans has enabled the EOCF to invest more than $17 million back into Oil Country this season, making a significant difference for thousands of vulnerable community members. "I am pleased and honoured to make this announcement today on behalf of the EOCF and our community partners," said Corey Smith, EOCF Board Chair.
