RBC Play Hockey™. From the pond to the podium. From the early morning practices to the Saturday night games. RBC is proud to support the hard work and dedication that helps hockey happen.
Grants
Without skates to lace, volunteers to lead, coaches to inspire and ice to play on, the game of hockey could not happen. The RBC Play Hockey Grants program will fund projects that keep hockey vibrant in communities across the continent.
20 grants, in the amount of $25,000 each, will be awarded across North America. Grant recipients will also receive one year of financial advice from RBC.
