Dear Member Associations,
Rhode Island Hockey is pleased to subsidize local youth hockey programs up to $600.00 towards the purchase of shooter tutors. Shooter tutors are a great way to keep a scrimmage or drill alive if goalies are scarce and also good for encouraging shooters to pick corners and look for hard-to-defend scoring opportunities.
To qualify for the subsidy, programs must order the accessories from a commercial hockey supplier and submit the receipt to aubiegman@gmail.com no later than 12/31/25. We can not reimburse programs for home made or locally sourced items. If you have any questions, please feel free to contact me directly.
On another note, this request came from a local program that attended our August meeting and asked if the state affiliate could reimburse programs for shooter tutors. Rhode Island Hockey meets on the third Monday of every month to discuss how to grow, promote, publicize and celebrate the sport of hockey in the state of Rhode Island. Without input from the member associations, we are just guessing at what you need. Please try to send a representative from your program to attend our monthly meetings. We are here to help.
