As the Exclusive Ice Hockey Equipment Retailer of USA Hockey, Total Hockey launched a campaign promoting the growth of hockey starting at the youth level. This Grow the Game initiative encourages hockey in the community by creating awareness of the sport, enhancing interest in the game among children and ultimately increasing involvement by learning to play hockey at a local level.

Future endeavors of Total Hockey focus on growing the game worldwide. This includes plans to further develop sled hockey, provide equipment starter kits to children involved in learn-to-play programs and to increase overall interest in the great game of hockey among America’s youth.
