WELCOME TO THE 20th ANNIVERSARY CELEBRATIONS OF MARITIME NHL'ERS FOR KIDS

Founded in 2000, Maritime NHL'ers for Kids was shaped by the passion of NHL record-setting Coach Rick Bowness (NS) in collaboration with retired NHL'er stars Errol Thompson (PEI), Mike McPhee (NS) and Tony Currie (NB) and a group of business  leaders in the Halifax area.  Maritime NHL’ers for Kids embraces the values of three (3) Founding Principles:

• Help ease the financial and social burdens preventing young boys and girls from pursuing their hockey dreams in Nova Scotia, New Brunswick, and Prince  Edward Island.
• Provide new and different role models for young minor hockey players.
• Showcase, as celebrity guests,  the rich and deep Maritime hockey pedigree of our hockey stars...past, present and future.

Over 19 years, more than 5,000 young boys and girls have received financial assistance towards registration fees or equipment assistance. 

To accomplish our Founding Principles, we are privileged to have remarkable partnerships with Canadian Tire Jumpstart and the National Hockey League Players Association (NHLPA). We are grateful for their sustaining commitment to our goals and values.
