In the summer, the initiative replaced more than 400 basketball nets and rims at Edmonton community league outdoor courts.
Now it’s focused on replacing every community league hockey net that needs it.
“This is where kids really learn to play hockey,” said Sport Edmonton CEO Reed Clarke.
It’s a joint effort with Hockey Edmonton, the Edmonton Oilers Community Foundation, the Edmonton Oil Kings and the Edmonton Federation of Community Leagues (EFCL).
“Everyone who needs (a net), we want them to reach out and let us know, and we’re going to get them out as soon as we can,” Clarke said.
“We’ve got over 120 outdoor rinks in the city, which is something to really be proud of.”
At this point, Clarke said the organization has done about 40 hockey nets so far, with another 60 in the queue.
