Help bring cancer care closer to home

HockeyFest is the largest growing travelling street hockey festival fundraiser in North America, and came to Prince George for the first time ever - all in support of the Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation!

A multi-day three-on-three/four-on-four (plus a goalie, division-dependent) outdoor road hockey festival open to ALL GENDERS and AGES FROM 7 to 75+ YEARS OLD, HockeyFest is a fast-paced, community-driven fundraising event where players of all skill levels come together for fun, connection, and a great cause.

Each team is guaranteed a minimum of four games, with 70% of teams making the playoffs. Each game is played on a 50% NHL-sized branded rink, complete with real dasher boards and netting to keep play fast and continuous. 

Whether you're playing or cheering from the sidelines, there's something for everyone at HockeyFest! Spectators can enjoy a full weekend of family-friendly entertainment including interactive games, giveaways, live musical performances, a beer garden, incredible local food trucks, and even a bouncy castle!

The event partners with local referees, vendors, minor hockey associations, and affiliate teams to create volunteer and setup opportunities, with financial contributions staying in the community to support our cause. With a strong focus on fun, family, and community, HockeyFest is sure to deliver a one-of-a-kind street hockey experience.

From September 19–21, 2025 the CN Centre parking lot was transformed into a ball hockey festival like no other.

Teams of all ages and skill levels laced up to compete, laugh, and cheer — not just for the love of the game, but to bring cancer care closer to home for Northern families. Every pass, every save, and every goal was part of something bigger: supporting Spirit of the North’s mission to improve healthcare throughout the region.

The weekend saw some fantastic competition and crowned winners across all divisions:

  • U9 Division Champions – The Tigers

  • U11 Division Champions – The Danglers

  • U13/15 Division Champions – Puck Cancer

  • Co-Ed Division Champions – Chilliwap Warriors

At just two years old, Mavrik is facing high-risk neuroblastoma - a cancer no child should ever have to endure. A huge Prince George Cougars fan, he should be watching hockey, not fighting for his life hundreds of kilometers from home.

Instead, Mavrik is undergoing intense treatment in Vancouver: chemo, surgery, and more. The good news? His tumor has shrunk by 90%. But his fight continues, and so does the distance from family, friends, and the comfort of home.

No child, nor their family should have to leave their community to get the care they need. Mavrik’s journey is a powerful reminder of why we need cancer care here in the North.

Mavrik is just one example of why Spirit of the North Healthcare Foundation brought HockeyFest 2025 to Prince George this September to support better cancer care in Northern British Columbia. The good news is, your voice in healthcare starts here.

The stories of families like his are endless, but together, we can change the ending.
