MISSION STATEMENT

Creating Opportunities for Racial Equality (CORE) presented by Bridgestone will introduce the game of hockey to new players ages 5 to 9 at no cost and provide a unique opportunity for players of all backgrounds to join the hockey community while developing fundamentals skills to help them succeed both on and off the ice.
