Cyclones win Cheever Award Grant 
|
| Cyclones Board of Directors with Cheever Award Grant checks |
Each year, Massachusetts Hockey along with the Boston Bruins Foundation, through the Boston Bruins Invest in Youth license plates offer hockey programs the ability to apply for grants under the Cheever Award Grant to help grow their programs. In February, the Southeast Cyclones applied for a grant to purchase equipment for our Learn to Skate Program. 11 hockey programs were chosen, and the Cyclones are one of them! We wanted to be able to supply loaner equipment along with our Learn to Skate Program so that every child has a chance to try hockey. Through the Loaner Equipment Program, a parent does not have to purchase new skates or equipment for their child to try hockey. Instead, their child can “borrow” equipment and see if they like the sport.
A delivery was made on March 18th of the following:
15 pairs of gloves
15 shoulder pads
15 youth helmets
15 pants
15 pairs of shin guards
15 hockey bags
15 pairs of skates
15 pairs of elbow pads
15 sticks
The Board of Directors officially accepted the grant check at the Annual Meeting on Tuesday March 19, 2019.
A huge THANK YOU to Cyclones Secretary Deb Ward for all her efforts in securing this grant!
