Hockey Fans in the Stands

Our Goal

Nationally, Kids Up Front has a goal of 75,000 tickets in 3 years. Locally, Vancouver has a goal of 2,500 tickets this year. We came so close to our goal with 2,312 hockey tickets distributed in 2019!

Hockey Fans in the Stands is the hockey portion of Kids Up Front’s “Tix for Kids” program and has a purpose of filling seats at hockey games with as many new fans as possible. Across Canada, deserving children and youth and their families will get to experience “more than a ticket” at a hockey game, giving them the opportunity to cheer on their hockey heroes, many for the very first time – engaging and enriching the lives of vulnerable kids from coast to coast.

Hockey Fans in the Stands is a program that facilities the inclusion of deserving children, youth, and their families at hockey games. Children and youth are engaged and educated in hockey by giving them a seat in the action through the distribution of tickets and the creation of special VIP events.

This program allows children and youth to be engaged, to feel included, and to be active in their local community; all of which are critical to human happiness.
