The Hat Trick Growth Challenge guides youth hockey leadership through national programs and tools to drive participation at the 4-to-8 age group. By growing hockey in this age group, programs will experience long-term growth as children continue to develop.

Registration for this season will be a standalone system via Google Forms (link below). At the end of the season, we will survey to see which items each association did complete in order to determine rewards status.

If you committed to the Hattrick Growth Challenge for the 23/24 season, you will receive your rewards by the end of August. 

What is the goal of the Hat Trick Growth Challenge?
The blueprint guides youth hockey leadership through national programs and tools to realize their goal of growing their association at the 8-and-under age category. 

By participating in the Hat Trick Growth Challenge, your program will be accomplishing two things:

1. You will drive participation in the 8-and-under age group and ensure that your program continues to grow as players graduate to older age levels.
2. Your association will establish itself not just as the best hockey program locally, but as the best youth sports option in your community!

To complete the Hat Trick Growth Challenge, participating associations will utilize programs that emphasize the three main driving forces of growth - Retention, Acquisition, and Conversion.
