Play On Canada Hockey Waiting On Federal Funding | February 8, 2023 | Micah Quinn | Bridge City News

The game of street hockey has been a Canadian tradition for generations. The City of Lethbridge is looking at spreading the growth of the sport here in our city. Lethbridge City Council was supposed to look at a funding request of $200,000 for the city to be able to host Play On! Canada street hockey events from 2023 to 2026. That translates to around $50,000 for each year for the initiative.

City staff, however, asked council to move the item to an April Economic SPC meeting as Play On! Canada has not yet received federal funding.

The first Play On! Canada street hockey tournament was held in Halifax in 2003. Since that time, a total of 170 Play On events have been held in 37 communities, involving over 400,000 participants.
