NHL A.S.S.I.S.T.

The NHL A.S.S.I.S.T. grant program is designed to help youth hockey organizations worldwide defray the costs of equipment, ice time and travel expenses. NHL A.S.S.I.S.T. will award grants in amounts of up to $10,000 USD to qualifying hockey programs, up to a total of $100,000 USD each year.

Since NHL A.S.S.I.S.T. was established in 1997 to Assist Skaters and Shooters In Succeeding Together, to date 89 youth hockey programs from around the globe have received financial support from the NHL A.S.S.I.S.T. program. Programs that have benefited from NHL A.S.S.I.S.T. grants in the past provide evidence of hockey's international scope, hailing from countries such as China, Mongolia, Slovakia, Russia, Hungary, Ireland, Latvia, Romania, South Africa, the Ukraine and New Zealand, among others.

To obtain an application for the NHL A.S.S.I.S.T. grant, the NHL has established a toll-free A.S.S.I.S.T. hotline that is accessible within the U.S. and Canada (1-888-NHL-AWARD) as well as a dedicated e-mail address ([email protected]). Applications are also posted on the official NHL website (www.nhl.com). NHL A.S.S.I.S.T. applications will be available at the NHL offices in New York, Toronto and Montreal as well as through the International Ice Hockey Federation (IIHF) in Zurich, a founding partner of the NHL A.S.S.I.S.T. program. Interested programs outside North America can request applications by contacting the IIHF at 011-411-289-8600. Applications are available in English, French, and Spanish upon request.
