The reach of Ball Hockey through our programs extends from children as young as four years old to teenagers, as well as their parents and grand-parents. The sport of Ball Hockey is steeped with family values, community involvement and time honored traditions, which is very complimentary to how every business should be perceived in its neighbourhood.
