2016 Rinks to Links in Calgary - 25 budding new hockey players

The Hockey Alberta Foundation’s 2016 Rink to Links program took place at Country Hills Golf Course and Crowfoot Arena in Calgary, giving 25 kids a chance to hit the driving range and ice all in one day.

Each kid also received a full set of hockey equipment, thanks to Comrie’s Sports Equipment Bank in Calgary and United Cycle in Edmonton. A special thanks also goes out to ATB Financial and Hockey Calgary for sponsoring the event.
