Blackhawks GOAL Program Visits Woodridge 68 School

Students at John L. Sipley Elementary School learned basic hockey skills and school received equipment donation

Youth hockey coaches from the Chicago Blackhawks Get Out and Learn (GOAL) program recently visited John L. Sipley Elementary School in Woodridge School District 68, and students had the opportunity to learn some basic hockey skills. The program also donated sticks, balls, and nets for the PE program at Sipley.

G.O.A.L. introduces hockey at the grassroots level to kids who may not otherwise have the opportunity to try hockey. The program brings hockey to schools, community centers and other places where kids can play in safe, structured environments. To make the game more accessible, the Blackhawks provide equipment, tips on how to grow the program and instruction from youth hockey coaches.
