The Hockey Alberta Foundation is pleased to announce that the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship will serve as the official presenting sponsor of the 2021 Hockey Alberta Foundation Golf Classic.

The annual event will be place July 19-21 at the renowned Silvertip Golf Resort in Canmore, with all proceeds benefiting the Every Kid Every Community initiative. A part of the World Juniors’ contribution to the 2021 Hockey Alberta Foundation Golf Classic will be utilized to match money collected on the charity donation hole – up to $10,000.

“We are delighted to welcome the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship as a presenting sponsor of the golf classic this year,” stated Tim Leer, Executive Director of the Hockey Alberta Foundation. “Holding the World Juniors two years in a row encourages youngsters throughout the province to play hockey, and the foundation has the potential to help make those aspirations a reality for every child in every town across Alberta.”

The IIHF World Juniors 2022 Live Stream will be held in Edmonton and Red Deer from December 26 to January 5, 2022.

“The 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship is pleased to sponsor the 2021 Hockey Alberta Foundation Golf Classic,” said Riley Wiwchar, Executive Director of the 2022 IIHF World Junior Championship. “As part of the World Junior legacy, we want to make the game more inviting and inclusive, and we want to involve new participants in the sport, which the foundation allows us to do.”

The Hockey Alberta Foundation generates money via events such as the golf classic to support programs that offer programming, improve development, and allow youth throughout the province to engage in hockey.
