The Manitowoc County Youth Hockey Association is one of 17 youth hockey programs in the state to receive a grant from the Milwaukee Admirals.
The Growing the Game Grant, which is funded through the Admirals Power Play Foundation, was established this past fall to help facilitate the growth of hockey at the grassroots level, especially during what has been a unique and challenging season.
Organizations were asked to submit applications that detail the programs they are creating or look to create to allow kids easier and better access to hockey.
Admirals President Jon Greenberg said of the grant, “We look forward to seeing the number of kids hitting the ice increase, and we know that the next Ryan Suter or Troy Grosenick might be picking up a stick for the first time today!”
