It’s time for hockey fans across Canada to rally behind their local rinks as nominations for Kraft Hockeyville 2025 are now open. This annual competition, beloved by communities nationwide, offers a chance to showcase the passion and dedication of local hockey enthusiasts.
Kraft Hockeyville, a partnership between Kraft Heinz Canada, the NHL, and the NHLPA, aims to support and revitalize community arenas, which are often the heart of hockey culture in small towns and cities. Winning the title not only brings national recognition but also awards the community significant funding for arena upgrades and a chance to host an NHL pre-season game.
Communities can nominate their local rink by sharing stories about how the arena fosters community spirit and promotes the love of hockey. Photos, videos, and heartfelt testimonials are encouraged to illustrate why their arena deserves the title of Kraft Hockeyville 2025.
Nominations are open now and will close on February 4, 2025. After this, the public will have the opportunity to vote for their favorite submissions, with the winning community announced later in the year.
For those eager to participate, head to the official Kraft Hockeyville website to submit nominations and learn more about how to get involved. This is a chance to not only celebrate the game but also strengthen the community ties that make hockey such a cherished part of Canadian life.
