Hockey Helps the Homeless Gears Up for Edmonton Tournament on May 2, 2025 Uniting Hockey Legends and the Community to Face Off Against Homelessness

EDMONTON, AB, April 7, 2025 /CNW/ - Hockey Helps the Homeless (HHTH) is proud to announce the return of its highly anticipated Edmonton tournament, taking place on May 2, 2025, at the Booster Juice Recreation Centre in Terwillegar (formerly Terwillegar Community Recreation Centre). The event will bring together hockey enthusiasts, NHL alumni, and community leaders to raise critical funds and awareness for homelessness in Edmonton.

Since its inception, HHTH has granted over $28+ million to local homeless support agencies across Canada. Edmonton has received more than $1.8 million of those funds, supporting impactful organizations including Kids Kottage Foundation, The Mustard Seed, and Jasper Place Wellness Centre. These partners provide essential services including emergency shelters, transitional housing, food security, and mental health programs.
