More Than 150,000 Canadians Volunteer Over 5 hours A Week To Hockey

Scotiabank’s report on the economic impact of hockey in Canada shows the benefit of volunteerism on the industry.

Over 150,000 volunteers dedicate significant amounts of their time to local hockey, by coaching, helping with tournaments, or with administration needs.

While the true number of volunteers is higher, the report shows that over 150,000 Canadians have a dedicated volunteer position that takes up over 260 hours of their time a year, a total of 32 workdays.
