There's two things that our U7 hockey players with Victoria Minor Hockey love! And that's HOCKEY and SANTA!!
What better way to celebrate the holidays than bringing the two together!
Hockey is more than just a sport, as those who know - know, it's a community. And here in Victoria, our community is one of the BEST. So in teaching our youngest division one of the best parts of hockey, community and giving, we present to you...Hockey for Santa!
Our U7 group is kids aged 5 and 6 that are just starting out their hockey journey. They are putting in hard work, that's lots of fun, and learning about teamwork, integrity and commitment.
Please join us in supporting a very great cause, CFAX Santa's Anonymous, and teaching our players the meaning of community involvement as hockey players. I always say, you represent your team on and off the ice. And our players would like to show you how much they care about their community.
As our event unfolds, many exciting things will unravel! So stay tuned!
For a little sneak peak, you can expect a hockey event where our players will thrill you with the best game on Earth! You'll be witness to some beauty ringers, some amazing spins, and even the occasional snow angel on ice! Our players excel in being first to the puck, all at the same time! And their celly's are next level!! We will even have some friends come out from the South Island Royals!
Our big skating event is TBA for now, but our donation page is open and ready for you to show the love. Catch us out in the community raising funds, collecting toys for kids, gift cards for teens and even some special treats for moms and dads in need this year!
Merry Christmas and stay tuned for updates!
We appreciate your support and can’t wait to bring joy to local children this Christmas!

The money raised will go to CFAX Santa's Anonymous for all the families who cannot afford to buy their children Christmas presents.
I would like to do this run because I think everyone at Christmas deserves a present. Just the thought of waking up on Christmas morning and seeing presents under the tree brings warmth into my heart.
I am excited to organize this run and I hope that every kid on Christmas feels loved.
