Youth Hockey News
Evanston Youth Hockey Association (EYHA) is a member of the NHL Diversity family. EYHA has been a leader in the area of diversity since the 1960s, and it is an honor for the National Hockey League to grant them NHL Diversity affiliate status.
Founded in 1995, NHL Diversity provides support and unique programming to not-for-profit youth hockey organizations across North America that are committed to offering economically disadvantaged boys and girls of all ages opportunities to play hockey.
Chicago Blackhawk Charities provides a grant to the Amateur Hockey Association of Illinois (AHAI). A portion of the grant is used to support the AHAI Diversity Task Force, which provides equipment, ice time and instruction complimentary to underprivileged youth from the Chicagoland area. With the existence of both the AHAI Diversity Program and EYHA Diversity Program, opportunities to play hockey will be expanded to even more children in the area.
