NHLPA in the Community | NHLPA.com | The Home Of The Players

As part of the broader hockey community, the NHLPA plays an integral role in connecting generations of players and fans through charitable and community programs. Together with the NHL, the NHLPA works year-round to promote a positive environment that supports those in the game, while also opening the door for future generations to get involved.

One Game, Countless Stories

The hockey community is made up of people from all walks of like – fans, players, coaches and staff – each contributing to the success and spirit of the game. Your passion and love for the game are what make you part of hockey’s team.

Industry Growth Fund

The Industry Growth Fund (IGF) is a joint initiative between the NHL and NHLPA that supports programs aimed at growing the game of hockey by increasing access, participation and engagement at the grassroots level. Since its creation, the IGF has helped launch and expand numerous initiatives, including the Future Goals program, reaching millions of young people through education, community outreach and introductory hockey experiences.
