The funds raised will go to reducing financial burdens and other barriers that limit access to hockey

For example, the Brockville Minor Hockey Association and the Brockville Angels Hockey Organization’s U17 programs receive funds from the Brockville Winter Classic to cover the cost of ice for the entire season. They say that participation increased by 44% and 62% respectively as a result of the reduced registration cost for participants.

Future goals for the funds raised are an Equipment Exchange Program to allow players and families to access quality, clean, and safe equipment as their athletes continue to grow and develop, a Financial Assistance Program aimed to assist families in relieving some of the financial pressures that come with having a child in hockey and the Big Fan Program
