Our Mission

At Gear Up Hockey Foundation, we believe every kid should have the chance to play hockey, no matter their financial situation. What started as a simple idea helping families afford the basics has grown into a mission to make the sport more accessible for young players everywhere. We focus on offering affordable gear options, running skills clinics, and creating opportunities for kids to get involved in the game.

Hockey is an incredible sport, but the cost can push a lot of families away. Based in Washington, D.C. and supporting communities across the country, we’re working to reduce those barriers. Whether it’s through development programs, community events, or partnerships that help connect kids to the rink, we aim to make the sport more welcoming and achievable for everyone.

When you support Gear Up, you’re doing more than helping a child get on the ice you’re helping build confidence, open new doors, and support the growth of the next generation of players and leaders.

Dream Big. Play Hard. Gear Up.
