First Shift “helping kids fall in love with hockey”
KAMLOOPS — Hockey is an expensive sport — with the cost of equipment and registration.
Out of the financial reach for many families.
Since 2014 more than 4800 families have been introduced to the game through the Canadian Tire First Shift program.
Last night First Shift returned to Kamloops for a third year, helping children aged six to ten to ease new-to-hockey families into the game through equipment fitting head to foot, to be followed by on-ice sessions with Kamloops Minor Hockey, and parent education.
