NEW at Borden Park! Are you ready for NHL Street Hockey? 🏒

The NHL STREET brings new style, energy, and gameplay to the sport of hockey. We’re creating an affordable, neighborhood-based model that gives kids everywhere an opportunity to learn and play.

The NHL has teamed up with RCX Sports—the leader in youth sports experiences—to bring NHL STREET to life. Designed for kids ages 6 to 14, our youth athletes feel like the pros when they suit up in authentic NHL STREET uniforms to play in high-energy, team-first leagues.
