One of the Honeywood arena’s prizes for getting to the top-four of the Kraft Hockeyville 2025 competition was 18 sets of new hockey equipment through the National Hockey League Players’ Association (NHLPA) Goals and Dreams Equipment Grant. That equipment is now being made available through the Honeywood Hockey Equipment Loan Program (HELP), making hockey more accessible for Mulmur youth.

Honeywood HELP is a no-cost equipment loan program available to eligible Mulmur youth who are registered to play with the Honeywood Minor Hockey Association. The program provides access to a full range of essential hockey equipment, helping remove financial barriers that may prevent children from participating in the sport.

Available equipment for loan includes: practice jerseys, elbow pads, garter/jocks, gloves, helmets, neck protectors, pants, shin guards, shoulder pads, equipment bags, skates, socks and sticks.

The program is intended for both children trying hockey for the first time and for families who may need assistance with the cost of equipment. By providing access to brand-new gear, Honeywood HELP supports grassroots hockey, promotes inclusivity, and ensures more youth can experience the enjoyment of being part of the game.

Through this initiative, the Township of Mulmur is proud to help nurture the next generation of hockey players while building on the recent Honeywood Arena upgrades and reinforcing a commitment to keeping the arena and hockey alive, accessible, and thriving in Honeywood for generations to come.
