RBC knows it takes a lot to make hockey happen, so we'd like to help those who work hard so we can all just play. RBC Play Hockey™ offers 20 grants, in the amount of $25,000 each to be awarded across North America. In addition, each recipient will now receive one year of financial advice from RBC. In conjunction with our sponsorship partners Hockey Canada and USA Hockey, the RBC Play Hockey™ Grants program is the first of its kind to support hockey across North America. Grants are awarded to community hockey organizations, sports associations, and hockey-minded individuals with great ideas to grow the game and keep hockey vital.
