One Quest, OneGoal

The Hockey Guild is proud to announce an all-new festival event to be held on Saturday during Quest for the Crown 2.

For the hour of ice just before our Skate with the Stars celebrity charity game, we will be hosting an exclusive OneGoal event in support of the Front Range Panthers youth hockey association.

So now any child 4-to-8 years old can come down to our charity hockey festival and play ice hockey! Thanks to the help of the Mile High Moose junior-A hockey team and other local hockey coaches and volunteers, your child can use a set of hockey equipment and skate on the ice with our volunteer coaches.

OneGoal has already seen a tremendous response here in Colorado thanks to the support of the University of Denver, CAHA and the Junior Pioneers. In one weekend late last season, the DU Recreation Center hosted over 200 kids for a weekend of grassroots hockey, which proved that OneGoal is the future of introducing kids to the game of hockey.

Thanks to a strong partnership between USA Hockey, Hockey Canada and equipment manufacturers, full sets of child-size hockey gear has been donated to youth hockey associations across the country in an effort to spark interest in the game at the 8-Under levels. Because the program is usually reserved for youth hockey associations, we are proud to benefit the Front Range Panthers with this unique OneGoal event.

OneGoal is a non-profit organization comprised of a coalition of USA Hockey, Hockey Canada, International Hockey Industry Association, National Hockey League (NHL), the NHL Players Association, rinks, equipment manufacturers, retailers, and many others across North America who are involved with hockey. The “one goal” of this group is to build greater awareness and understanding of hockey so parents can make informed decisions about involving their families in the sport. For many of us who didn’t grow up with the game, OneGoal makes it easier and less intimidating to join in on everything that hockey has to offer.
