Found this interesting, nice way for both to give back.

House of Hockey’s inaugural season will take place over eight weeks beginning in June with weekly games played across the Greater Toronto Area (GTA).

“Players will be outfitted with the equipment and tools to enable their participation including training from skilled coaches on the fundaments of ball hockey with life skills integration as well as jerseys, sticks, merchandise and other gear provided by Maple Leafs and drew house,” the Leafs said.

“Building on this program's promise to create opportunities to play, donations will be made beyond the league to get hockey sticks and equipment into more local communities, expanding the movement and inspiring the next generation.”
